That would be great! Note that the mandriva spec has been updated recently to 
be slightly more correct than it was when I wrote the last mail.

Even an imperfect package would be better than not having a package at all. So 
yes, that's more than ok. Also, with a bit of luck (ok, a rather large bit of 
luck), somebody else will improve on your spec, once a beginning is made.

Creating the kde menu entries should be a matter of installing the 
rkward.desktop file to the correct directory. Unfortunately, the "correct 
directory" seems to differ across distributions, but maybe you can find out, 
where other kde packages place their .desktop files. BTW, I'm not a gnome 
user, so I don't really know, what I'm talking about, but I seem to recall, 
that the two projects actually use the same means for adding the menu entries 
by now.
