Ahhhh, so the GNOME-ites are at it again, dictating policy. ;-)
I have found it necessary to create my own Ham Radio category in my main
menu on my KDE installations to gather everything in one place. I had
a ham radio menu package installed at one time. but it never showed up
in KDE. In the Debian menu under Applications is Amateur Radio which
is generally populated correctly.
I can understand the need for a coherent menu system and that's not my
gripe. Specialized areas like Ham Radio should be able to exist
seperately, though.
