Not KDE, but I do know the menu system by now.

I haven't understood the KDE part in your program yet and it seems not to work 
with KDE 3.1.5, but I believe by supplying menu-methods its possible to add 
every structure one wants.

Perhaps with the .local-part this could be done wtih symlinks for different 
user groups for all wms?

Btw. KDE is also working on that (they told me on CeBit) to add such features 
to the kiosk mode ... (On the fly switching of K-Menu)
