What I'd really love would be for the ebuild to elog which menu folder 
the application
is installed to!

My standard procedure is:

1. emerge newApp
2. look in the folder(s) I'd expect it to be in
3. look in Lost & Found
4. look in all folders
5. run Menu Updating Tool
6. manually create the menu entry

BTW, anyone know how KDE stores the menu items?  It might be faster to 
search
there with find/grep...

Have fun,
Roy
