http://www.kde.org/areas/sysadmin/ will give you a nice introduction in how
KDE organizes it files.
The menu is constructed from the directory structure that can be found under
/etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/ If you copy a .desktop file there it will be
picked up for all users on that machine. Alternatively you can also use
/opt/kde3/share/applnk/ You may need to make sub-directories first.
For example, to add a menu-entry to the "Multimedia" menu you could copy a .
desktop file to either /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/Multimedia/ or to
/opt/kde3/share/applnk/Multimedia/
There is also a new way, new in SuSE 9.0 and soon in KDE 3.2. For that way you
can copy the .desktop file to /usr/share/applications and add a
Categories=xxx line to the .desktop file. The category then determines in
which menu the file shows up. You will have a
/opt/kde3/share/applnk/default_applications.menu file that determines
which categories are shown in which menus.
See http://pdx.freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec/menu-spec-0.7.html for the
complete story.

What exactly do you mean with "Panel Menu" ?
