I agree, as far as GNOME and KDE stop using two kinds of menus at the same time. What about adding {icon[1],i18n,etc} support to Debian Menu, as others said on this thread? If we can automate .desktop => Debian process, so there's no *big* reason to use freedesktop.org standard, as the main advantage would become the fact of being a standard :-). Also, the program icons in Debian menus is one thing that is annoying me since I met Debian, as I can't use them in a larger size (aka in my desktop) beautifully. Cheers, Felipe Almeida Lessa.
