User (Profile) Specific Start Menu for RHEL 6.1 using KDE 4.3.4

I installed RHEL 6.1 with KDE 4.3.4 using LDAP on a PC and have now the problem to specifiy a user/Profile specific start menu.

I have used already the kmenuedit tool and tailored for one user a specific menu, successfully.
I changed as an example the konsole submenu.
The kmenuedit was generating a user specific file kde-konsole.setup of the edited menu file an stores it in the directory .local/share/applications/. This file was generated from the global menu file kde4-konsole.desktop stored in the directory /usr/share/applications/kde4/.
My question is, where can I store this generated user/profile that it is used when a new generated user is logging in the first time.
Before RHEL 6.x/ KDE 4.x always a mechanism with the /etc/skel directories was used, which seems to be not longer used.

Addtionally I had a look on the kiostool, but that does not longer work correctly for RHEL 6.x/KDE 4.x.

Does anyone have suggestions to solve this problem?

0desktop

0DESKTOP(1)															       0DESKTOP(1)

NAME

       0desktop -- add programs to the desktop environment

SYNOPSIS

       0destkop [ URI ]

       0destkop --manage

DESCRIPTION

       0desktop can be used to create launchers for Zero Install applications in desktop environments supporting the freedesktop.org menu specifi-
       cation (e.g.  GNOME and KDE).

       If the URI of a Zero Install application is given, this application is added.  Without a URI, a dialog box is displayed prompting the  user
       to  specify  what  to  add.  On success, a launcher is added to the user's menu which, when invoked, runs the application using the command
       "0launch URI".

FILES

       ~/.local/share/applications
	      Default directory in which the .desktop file for the new launcher is created.
