Package: deskmenu
Version: 1.4.5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
File: /etc/menu-methods/deskmenu

If a debian menu entry contains a colon then the entry generated in
/etc/deskmenurc.debian doesn't work.  For example xgalaga gives

    menuitem=Galaga:Hyperspace:xgalaga-hyperspace

Perhaps colon could be changed to space per below.  This also changes to
use title() and term() as recommended by /usr/share/doc/menu/menu.txt.gz
section 5.  The term() func has the advantage of escaping any " quotes
in the title, though I don't know any entries which have that.  Both
funcs give the sysadmin a little extra configurability.
