Personally I use a launcher like rofi[0] or dmenu[1] for running stuff,
or from a terminal on the VM itself.

But if you want the application menu in dom0 (and the Applications list
in VM settings) to show the menu entries from Kali, you probably need an
additional step to install them in the right location. They are
currently installed under /usr/share/kali-menu.

So, in your template run the following:

$ /usr/share/kali-menu/update-kali-menu

This will install the Kali application entries to the default location.

Now you should be able to run qvm-sync-appmenus in dom0:

$ qvm-sync-appmenus templatename

After which the new entries will be visible in the list of applications
available for any VM based on that template.

This was recited by memory so I guess YMMV.

I meant "No HVM, normal TemplateVM", of course. Then, as said, I create
AppVMs based on that template whenever I need a Kali machine for
something.

I cloned my usual debian template and installed all Kali packages on
that one. No HVM, normal AppVM.

This way I have a debian-kali template that I can keep updated
and base other VMs on, like customer-specific pentesting VMs.

I guess an alternative would be to use the katoolin[0] utility to
install the Kali packages in an existing Debian template. There are
several articles on how to do this on the net, but here's one of
them[1].

Basically, it adds the Kali APT repositories + GPG key and provides a
simple menu for selecting packages for install using the same categories
as Kali. I think it also includes a script to create the same
application menu structure as the default Kali install.

Seems to work fine, been using Kali like this since I switched over to
an Qubes based environment.

Same issue here. I had good luck using the "Mate" version of Kali for my HVM. 
This indicates it is probably an issue with default gnome in kali?

Same problem..., manual and katooling with option full, and 
misplaced desktop with last available kali iso.
My video card is also a nvidia (GT330M)

thanks for your suggestion. I've tried both, manual and katoolin ways. If you 
try to install everything (kali-full) X-based conflicts show up, hash 
mismatches, etc.
