I just installed a new package. It probably added an entry to the kde
application launcher menu, but I don't see it.

I use kdemenuedit (and know how to add entires manually, etc.), but it
doesn't seem to have a search feature.

Is there a way to search the menu to find particular entries?
Sometimes, I want to edit them, copy them to my desktop or panel, or move them into another subfolder.

I did some Googling and found that the menu is called kickoff and it has
its own menu style that includes a search function, but it looks too
much like Windows and I don't like it. I use the Classic menu style. Also, when I typed my
application name into the search, it launched it, but still didn't tell
me where it was in the menus.

I've mucked about in the raw menu files before, but they're a convoluted
mess which keeps everything you've deleted or moved forever to support
some sort of undo mechanism. When you make changes to the file
directly, it tries to compensate for them and things get even more
convoluted.

Any ideas on how I can have my cake and eat it?

TIA

Forgot to add that I'm using kde 4.4.5 on kubuntu lucid x86.
