How do you edit the content of the StartMenu in KDE ?

I would like to edit the content of the StartMenu, not its properties. Kcontrol won't help.
How do you change the path of the applications the shortcuts point to ?
How do you change the tree of the StartMenu ?

Is there a folder or a config file for that ?

If your right click on the StartMenu, and then on Menu Editor, you will be able to do change in the start menu. (You can also do StartMenu > SettingsMenu > Menu Editor or execute kmenuedit in a konsole).

Does anyone know how to edit KDE pannel menus by editing the preference / desktop files?

I understand this could potentially mess things up.
Specifically I don't like the "extra" section and want to move all the applications there to thier respective normal locations, and also am likely to customize the menu extensively.
I find that the editor is less than I would hope for for such tasks.

Cheers

KDE Admin Docs

Check out:

http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/fsh.php

to get an idea of where all the KDE configuration files go and how KDE searches and prioritizes them.

Also, see:

http://freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec/0.8/

for information on how menu, directory and desktop files are used.
