No:
1. the format for the desktops is provided by the /etc/menu-methods/*
2. the standard menu format shall only be accessed (and not the format for
the desktops)

This is not really possible, the menu entries have to be provided by the
packages. We lack a viable IA for that..

Strange/difficult/boring idea. (boring for the user at each install of
each rpm) (and possible a problem because you may have several binaries in
each package, each of need a description, icons, etc)
