Hello Christopher, If you are concerned by menu-xdg maintenance, Chris is usually very amenable to NMU, so I offer to fix issues you have trouble with. As for this issue, I just need gwm and kdm maintainer agreement that they will change to them to look at /var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions/ instead of /usr/share/xsessions/ etc. Getting any answer from gwm maintainer was pretty hard before sarge release.
