SuSE's kickoff start menu - is it available for Arch?

I've looked in the repos and in AUR as well as kde-look/kde-apps but I couldn't find it.  Does anyone know if there is a package for Arch?

Re: SuSE's kickoff start menu - is it available for Arch?

Well, there's no package for Arch, yet. I've actually tried making a package for it but I've run into complications that might need patching. However, I don't have the resources right now to complete the package.

Another thing that *prevents* me from even having the will to complete the package is that the Kickoff source in SVN is actually a whole kdebase source, not a Kicker applet source (like KBFX) or anything like that.

Another thing is that the Kickoff source in SVN has a KDE version tag of 3.5.3 which means that incompatibilities with the kdebase (3.5.5) in Arch might arise if only the Kickoff parts were installed alongside with the official kdebase in Arch.
