Thank you for the detailed report :). I'm sure this will be very helpful 
improving the K Menu. 

What I understand is, the main usage is based on the two needs:

- browse the application list and learn the system.
- search for infrequently used applications.

Are these the only things we need to improve on K Menu?

AFAIK, not all but many, users use K Menu for tasks other than launching 
applications too. Like, loging off, locking session, switching user or 
opening a recently used file. We should consider these tasks (and others that 
can be embeded to the new K Menu) too.

regards,
