Did it take you that long (grin) ?

Yes, that's what Gentoo is largely about & living at the cutting edge.

KDE tries to organise the items in a rational manner,
but it also provides Kmenuedit to allow you to do whatever you want.
After you've designed your menu as you like it best,
you simply have to check that new apps get put where you prefer.

BTW there's a cute little app Apwal (x11-misc), which you can customise
to call up a temporary array of icons on your desktop representing apps.
I have it assigned to L-click & use it for apps I commonly use,
but don't have restarted by KDE when it starts up.
Apwal deserves to be better known.
