KDE4 Menus

Hi all,

As you probably know by now, there currently are three working and one WIP 
menu (Raptor, that should be made functional for 4.2) for KDE 4.x.

I've received a couple of suggestions to make Lancelot a default one, but I 
for one am not a supporter of that idea, and don't think I will be in the 
foreseeable future. (various reasons, not important for this topic)

What I would like to have, though, is some kind of mechanism in *all* menus 
which could detect which ALI's are installed on the machine and to allow easy 
switching from one to another.

Currently this is hard-coded and the options are fixed - kickoff <--> classic 
menu.

I'm afraid that the category 'Application Launchers' would not be sufficient 
to detect menus since that category is a bit semantically broader then just 
/menus/.

So, any thoughts on this?

Cheerio!
