I'd like to know how are the non KDE applications put in the KDE menu in
Slackware 10.0.
I mean: is there a package that, once installed, puts those menus?
I ask this because, uninstalling each single application doesn't remove its
KDE entry.

KDE itself includes "smart" entries for some non kde applications, as does
gnome. Also if the entries are created by the install script (quite likely,
since you'd only want them if you had kde) then slackware's simple package
manager won't be able to remove them. Finally maybe there's some equivalent
to CONFIG_PROTECT which means pkgtool won't remove "configuration" items
like menu entries.

Try looking in the kde settings menu option...

You will find a 'menu editor' and 'menu updating tool', try using the
'menu updating tool' and performing a scan. This should allow you to add
non KDE applications and remove those applications that no longer exist on
your system.
