OK, I use 'Classic Menu" already.  I'm an old foggy that way.  I just edited the menu yesterday, and this morning that 
change is in the popup menu.  So my problem is different than finding the menu.  I have arranged the menu(s) in the 
editor to display in the order I want them.  This works fine when clicking on the Application Button in the task bar.  I 
also have an Application Launcher widget on the desktop which displays the menu as I have arranged it.  This was 
my work around for not being able to popup a menu with the mouse button.  But now the menu that pops up with the 
mouse button is displayed in a different arrangement.  The problem this causes me is that I have a submenu of 
remote machines that I can ssh to, opening a new konsole window for the connection.  I have edited those to be in 
alphabetical order so that I can find the one I want quickly (they are named xnode1 - xnode61), but when I open that 
submenu in the popup, they are arranged in some scattered order.  Perhaps this is a bug in the display of the menu?  I 
have edited the menu many times, and when I look at the xml, its very jumbled.  Is there a program that can read 
whats there, and write a new file in the final order?  I have taken a try at doing this in an editor, but I keep ending up 
with something that is unusable.
