The structure of your menus is automatic and is defined by the packager of the 
RPMS you install.
Every time you install a Mandrake RPM the RPM package will place a file in the 
directory /usr/lib/menu This file dictates which menu section it will appear 
in.

If you want an application to appear in a different section you can override 
the default by editing  /etc/menu-methods/kde3
See 'man update-menus' for a full description.

You can also set menudrake to use 'user' menus instead of 'system' menus and 
use the GUI to define where applications appear in your menu. These settings 
will be stored in your /home directory and should survive a future install 
(So long as you do not format /home).
