How can I restore the standard square blue KDE icon for the "start" menu?

Also does a solution apply to various distributions, or does the procedure vary... I'm evaluating Xandros 3, Mandriva 2007 Spring (just released); and Kubuntu. All have their own distro name or other customization in the start menu which I would like to remove and replace with the K icon.

The Menu editor doesn't seem to deal with this. Mandriva has an option for "standard menu included with KDE" or "Discover menu" or another option. This setting either doesn't save or doesn't affect the menu graphic being called.

Thanks

The solution depends on what the distro uses to implement the non-square K Menu icon. For example, openSUSE is using it's own K Menu implementation called "kickoff". I'm not familiar with how Xandros and Mandriva implement a different K Menu. It might be something like kbfx, or something entirely coded into the menu applet.

Btw, Kubuntu doesn't have it's own K Menu icon. it uses the KDE default icon.

Thanks, I did discover the Kubuntu distro and found most everything to my liking so far.
