As I was reading the current series on The Old New Thing about Windows's frequently-used-programs list it got me to thinking that it would be nice to have a similar menu in Linux that would make my programs available from a menu without my having to add them manually. I know many geeks are outraged by the idea that their menu might change on its own, but it always worked well for me. Is there such a program?
And if not, any suggestions on how to implement it? I suppose I could just watch the contents of /proc or something.

kde-moduses the kickoff menu which has a history tab, though I'm pretty sure it only looks at things that have been launched from the menu.

Yeah, I definitely to include stuff run from the command line and elsewhere.
Strangely enough, I just discovered Linux's process accounting feature without even looking for it. I think it should make the job pretty easy.

Is there any kickoff package for Arch, for the official KDE, not KDEmod ?
Thanks

There is something like that in the standard KDE menu. You'll find the options for the KDE menu under the Panel configuration. The is also the quicklauncher applet for the panel which can add/remove programs based on popularity.

Thanks. That, I know, but really want Kickoff for the original KDE, on Arch. Is there any way of doing it, or any package for it?

Check out our kdebase-kickoff PKGBUILD and change the KDEbase PKGBUILD from abs to include the Kickoff menu...
Its a little bit tricky to do, you need to use unsermake-svn from the AUR (blame SuSE for this, as they build their whole KDE with it) to build, everything further is in the PKGBUILD...
want a modular and tweaked KDE for arch? try kdemod
