Are entries for the programs supposed to appear in the KDE menu? I did not find any.
No, the structure of the packages is still that as it had been imported from Mandriva. I have my own KDE menu, which made me not realize this need - I agree that should be done.
Version freeze for Beta 2 will be in a few days. I am not sure whether I will manage until than (and I hesitate to touch things at the last moment). If not, a bug should be filed (could you do this?) when Mageia 2 is released, I will then produce an update. I will drop a note in this thread if I can do it in the next days.
PS: thinking about it - which menu items do you consider necessary (geda has a crowd of executables). I would suggest a minimum set: pcb, gschem, gerbv (but gerbv is rarely called directly, normally by clicking the directory item of a gerbv file), possibly gsch2pcb.
This makes me realise that I did not check about file-associations (mime types), they might also be lacking - again, obscured by having it set up manually on my system.
