SuSE does by default give you a SuSE customized KDE menu. However, to change it back to the normal KDE menu is a simple selection in the KDE control center. To select which menu you want to use: Control Center / Look and Feel / Menu settings / main menu (SuSE or KDE) Then, restart KDE (or just kicker) and you are done. On the other hand, I agree with your general conclusion that each distro has quirks and you have to pick your poison.
