Description Richard Bos 2005-12-24 10:47:23 UTC 
I have been extending the kde main menu, but this requires that the main menu 
(/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu) is being edited.  I don't like this too 
much, as this will be undone by next kde update.  I wonder is there a custom 
hook available in kde's main menu to extend it?  The reason to extend the 
main menu, is to list inhouse (say a school, city hall, a company (that could 
even be suse)) maintained systems, or inhouse developed applications, etc.

I extended the file with /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu with:
<MergeFile>custom.menu</MergeFile> which is more than sufficient to support 
the above described wish.  If there is no custom menu hook, present could the
this "<MergeFile>custom.menu</MergeFile>" added to the suse applications.menu file, so in case the package that provides this file is updated, the hook
would not disappear.

PS: I choose kde as component, but it could have been gnome or X
as well I assume.  I leave it up to you, to determine the best fit
component for this enhancement

Could this be part of 10.1?  The change is trivial and small.
Smaller is almost not possible.

Added for 10.1
