Er, could you be more precise ? What goes wrong ?

It should, this is all KMainWindow stuff.

Yeah, sorry for the late reply. I'm not an expert on KDE's XMLGUI framework,
but what you want to do sounds like what we're already doing with the edit
tools RMB menus (except they set their own .rc file and aren't XMLGUI
clients).
Basically, in the XML .rc file you have <Menu name="foo"> and in the code
factory()->container("foo", client) will return that menu. 'client' is a
KXMLGUIClient which needs to be added to the factory with
KXMLGUIFactory::addClient() prior to calling container(). In the case of a
KMainWindow, it is already a client, so if the 'this' in your code snippet
above is a KMainWindow, it should work.
