           Summary: menu folders with only one item should collapse and show
                    that item on the parent level instead of the folder
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: widget-kickoff
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: fhimpe pandora be


Version:           4.0.84 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In my application menu I have Education - Sciences - Marble Desktop Globe. Marble is the only application in the Sciences category. It does not make much sense having to click through the Sciences category if Marble is the only item. Instead, Kickoff should show Marble Desktop Globe immediately in the Education section, which would save one click, and make the application easier to find.

Such collapsing should only be done for one level, in order not to bring application to too generic categories. For example, if Sciences is the only item in Education, Marble should not be shown at the top level (instead of Education), but we should have Education with Marble as the only item.
