Thanks rob
I got the job done.
Actually, I am rebuilding a KNOPPIX CD, and so I have to change all this 
stuff, (as it is a live CD) without actually seeing my work, untill I 
remaster it, and make a iso image, and burn it, and then, I can see what I 
did.
It's like trying to change KDE settings while you don't have X. so you have to 
know and dig all these rc files. 

I still can't find one config file, what is the config file which K Menu 
stores it's setings in?  

Cheers
