I strongly diagree, for this. For instance under new gnome menu, I
could not find xfig and I should run it from console or from alt+F2.
And inkscape is not feature comparable with xfig....

Best will be to have this legacy but neithertheless useful apps under
a subdirectory of graphics menu

So i am cloning this bug report, in two parts:
1. imagemagick menu does not work
2. this bug report.

And I am believe I will tag wontfix this bug report or block by the
sugestion above at your wish.
