If you use a tree structure like this, I think it should match the one of the 
KMenu.
If we use your example, a user should be able to run KWord by clicking 
KMenu->Office Tools->KOffice->KWord. The KMenu already has a structure like 
that, so this would be the best way to ensure that a newbie can easily find a 
new app.
And maybe one could even extract the needed metadata from the .desktop files.
I don't know if this is possible, it's just an idea.
