Hello!

The patch attached adds basic support for adding the contents of the Windows start menu to the kickoff applet. "Basic" means that it is possible to launch most file types one typically finds in a start menu (Executables, help files, PDF, html) either directly or with the default application associated with the corresponding file type.

What is missing currently:
- Icon extraction
- Folder structure of the Windows start menu (currently all entries are displayed sorted alphabetically only, regardless in which folder they reside under the Windows start menu)
- Correct sorting order (sorted by description, not by name now)
- Fine-tuning for program launching

Nevertheless, the code is functional (developed on Vista SP1), and I'd like to ask someone else beside myself to test this little addition.

Feedback, suggestions and criticism are welcome, but flame gently, this is my first attempt to modify KDE itself.

With best regards,
Fabian Aichele
