Still no joy.

I did this:
1) unlocked desktop widgets
2) opened the kickoff menu
menu --> office

3) on this menu "screen" I see the openoffice menu. I want to add this entire 
menu to the plasma panel (not the kickoff menu) but if I right click on it It 
just opens the item and shows me the openoffice items writer, spreadsheet, 
etc just like it would had I did a left click on it.

Thoughts ?
