It's unclear why you should have a "John" directory in the mix. Since
.kde/share/applnk is derived from your home directory, there is no need to
make user distinctions in the directory chain.

It sounds like the directory structure has somehow gotten muddied. I
don't use the KDE menus enough to modify them. I've got a few icons on
the kpanel (also controlled in that same directory tree) but that's about
it.
