kde-contextmenu is a program that allows you to change the menu you get when you right-click onto the KDE desktop.

kde-contextmenu is simple and extendable.

To set it up:

• install the needed dependencies, e.g. for SUSE Linux 12.2 open a console and issue

yast -i cmake libkde4-devel

• Download the package, e.g. from https://github.com/tstaerk/kde-contextmenu/archive/master.zip
• unpack it, e.g.

cd
unzip Downloads/kde-contextmenu-master.zip

• build and install it, e.g.

cd kde-contextmenu-master
sh setup.sh

• this should install everything
• log out and log in again
• now right-click onto your KDE desktop, select "Mouse Actions"

• now you can change the action for "Right Button" to "KDE ContextMenu"
• enjoy this program's simplicity :)

To revert these changes:

• delete ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
