Lancelot reaches Holy Grail of KDE menu

,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4 is barely eight months old, and already it has three options for a main 
| menu. Until now, users have either used the default Kickoff, which makes for 
| awkward navigation of the menu tree, or reverted to the familiar but unwieldy 
| classic menu. Now, with the first full release of Lancelot, users have 
| another option that overcomes the shortcomings of both other alternatives and 
| gives KDE 4 a thoroughly modern menu.     
| 
| [...]
| 
| These points aside, Lancelot is in many ways what Kickoff should have been. 
| It makes Kickoff structures work without inhibiting navigation or adding 
| unnecessary complexity. I would not be greatly surprised if, a few releases 
| down the road, Lancelot becomes the default menu in the KDE 4 series.

KBFX, Windows-like Start Menu For KDE

,----[ Quote ]
| That's a brief look to my KBFX. Look at the one that circled red. It's the 
| KBFX button. It's just like Start menu in Windows, isn't it. My favourite 
| part from KBFX is that it can use many themes that can be downloaded for 
| free. At the picture above i'm using Vista theme. So, is my Linux look like 
| Vista now?

KBFX Preface

,----[ Quote ]
| KBFX is an alternative to the classical K-Menu button and it's menu.
| It improves the user experience by enabling the user to set a bigger
| (and thus more visible) start button and by finally replacing the
| Win95-like K-Menu. But if you still want the old menu, because you're
| used to it, it is still available as an option in KBFX. We recommend,
| however, that you give the Spinx bar a try.

KDE 4 menu development

,----[ Quote ]
| The main goals of Raptor are clear: to provide a high quality menu
| everyone will like. This includes an intelligent "My Favourite" section
| (intelligent means really intelligent and not the stuff available today),
| a skin supported menu (png or svg, colour, layout), fancy effects ("rain
| in the menu", whatever that means) and of course searching of all entries
| - at the moment implemented with strigi (which was mentioned pretty often
| at akademy - hope it gets even more boost!).

Kickoff Start Menu Research - Sneak Preview (Flash animation)

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSUSE 10.2 will have a redesigned KDE start menu created by the KDE
| and usability team at SUSE, after doing usability testing with other
| start menus. We now have a working prototype, code-named 'Kickoff'
| (started during world soccer championship, obviously), which is
| currently being tested with real users in the SUSE usability lab.
