Is there any way to export and import Kickoff Application Launcher's menu? I use Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 4.

The KDE Menu Editor Handbook (mirror) has a section: 'Transfer application launcher settings':
There is no way to transfer menu settings using the GUI, you have to do that manually and copy the following files to the target user:
KMenuEdit stores the menu hierarchy in
menus/applications-kmenuedit.menuin the folder$(qtpaths --paths GenericConfigLocation)and desktop-directories in the folder$(qtpaths --paths GenericDataLocation)contains desktop files for submenus you created. Inapplications/in the folder$(qtpaths --paths GenericDataLocation)you find the desktop files for the custom items you created. The shortcuts for each application are stored inkglobalshortcutsrcin the folder$(qtpaths --paths GenericConfigLocation), but export/import does not work because the UUIDs of the shortcuts do not match up between systems, even though the.desktopfiles are the same. You have to assign all shortcuts manually again.
