nope. kde looks for .desktop files in certain directories, in this 
case /usr/share/applications/

This is correct

This and the menu problems leaves the assumption that doinst.sh didn't get 
executed on installation. Further symptoms could be non-existent VBoxManage, 
VBoxSDL, VBoxHeadless and some more in /usr/bin.

If that is the case there is the question why it didn't get executed. Have you 
installed it with install-/upgradepkg?
You could maybe try reinstalling the same package and look if doinst.sh gets 
executed.
