Change the theme.  You don't have to use the "RedHat-ized" KDE  
menus.  I didn't like them either.

That's the purpose behind the inclusion of not one, but two package  
managers.  I haven't been in "dependency hell" in years.

To be fair, my server platform of choice is FreeBSD.  The ports  
collection is just an organized way of doing exactly what you're  
doing under slack.

Hmmm...  Still don't have the widely noised problems with KDE that  
most do.  Maybe I don't try to tinker with it, and just use one of  
the default themes "as-is"...
