that's not a bad idea, Productivity Tools. Perhaps the answer it so to
create new parent directories, one for Desktop Publishing, One for
Productivity Tools, etc.
I need to think about it, but this is the input I needed. Thanks.

As for the kde4 kmenu not, being mouse responsive (no auto-selection),
I completely agree. I think auto selection was a bad idea to begin
with. I've found it to be a bother rather than a use feature.

I do hope its something we can use.


thank you again for the useful input.
