well, actually, this mailing list is the wrong one as this is about the KDE 
implementation of a spec, not the spec itself. you're probably looking for 
panel-devel at kde.org.

in any case ....

that's intentional. there's no point in having menus with *one* item in them.

this is the problem: the name doesn't change. the menu item should probably 
change it's name to the application to make it really clear what's going on.

the code is in kdebase/kicker/kicker/ui/ .. the file you probably want to look 
at is servicemnu.cpp (going from memory here; i'm on my laptop and it doesn't 
have the kde3 source code on it =) ...
