The studio menu package has been tested on kubuntu and does work. It works 
best with the classic menu style, right click on the menu icon and select 
classic menu style. But it will work with most other styles as well.

The easiest way is still to install ubuntustudio-installer. Run the 
installer (it's in system at the bottom) and you will have a choice of 
things to install. You will want audio for sure and the menu. The 
lowlatency kernel has worked well for me, but I understand not so well for 
you. KDE is one of the DEs where our menu just works, lxde, xfce and any 
of the gnome variants have a broken menu specification file that needs a 
slight fix to work. I think xubuntu has fixed theirs and may have pushed 
it upstream. The Gnome world is more interested in putting more hurdles to 
jump over than in fixing things :P (this is a two line diff fix... moving 
one line from the top of the file to the bottom)
