The kde startmenu is already very good I think. Some improvements would be fine like drag&drop support. But for me, you could also remove it... Nearly use Alt+F2 all the time ;)

..i think, it is not a release, but a suggestion (guess, it's called a "mockup")
A good title would save me a lot of useless clicks. But a good description would save me a lot of frustration.

And I agree if you want quick links put them on the kicker instead of cluttering up the menu.

Some things like a quick preferences or file-system browser are important.
Moreover, I think, the customizability is harder with this 3 columns, than with the current design.

i like your idea of a better-structured and cleaner k-menu.
we have to use "recognition" instead of "remembering" - big icons, colors, special buttons. this is how newbies use their computer and nearly any other technical device - instead of remembering a function they instantly recognize a picture, a sound, a colour (look inside your car: you'll find a big red triangular button in nearly any car).
we should use this behaviour and a better k-menu is a first step.
one improvement: leave more space between the items. this makes it look cleaner and less nervous and is easier to click at.

There have been endless debates about the kmenu, and one thing is for certain: KDE is not going down the WinXP route any time soon. Not because KDE hates WinXP, but because the WinXP has a lot of usability flaws. For example:
- There are too many different kinds of icons that have different functions; some open applications, some open submenus, some open dialogue boxes. There's no indication as to what each icon will do
- You have to be far more careful with your mouse to select some of the submenus, because, unlike in the default kmenu configuration, you can't just run your mouse up against the side of the desktop.
That said, if you or someone else could code it, there'd be a lot of happy KDE users about.

It is one of variants as will look newMenu.
Still in the future, probably much will change, it becomes better and more convenient

Anyways, I have made a little start (as a standalone application, still). It's starting to look pretty nice :)
