More precisely which field would be needed ?
I was thinking about Name[locale], GenericName[locale] and
Comment[locale]. Also maybe adding icon24x24, icon48x48 and iconSVG (or
some of them) could be useful for fancy desktop environments.
I have no objection providing the implementation does not duplicate
existing menu features.
Will keep that in mind. We should probably continue this discussion
elsewhere.
As for the menu, here is another update. It covers all the menu, except
for "Games".
Important changes:
* Renamed "WindowManagers" to "Window Managers".
* Renamed "XShells" to "Terminals" as this is a more common way they are
referred to, or so it seems to me.
* Renamed "Root-window" to "Root Window".
* Included "Applications/System/Language Environment" section.
* Included "Screen/Capture" section.
"Root Window" should be removed, in my opinion. It does not contain many
entries and ones it contains can probably go to other sections. xplanet
can go into "Games/Toys", chbg - to "Administration" and Xsetroot entry
is more malicious than useful.
Window manager modules seem to be misplaced, because most of them are
simply window manager specific configuration items and therefore should
go to "Administration" as a 4-th level subsection.
I did not change these in the draft yet, because I am not aware of the
reasons they were created in the first place.
I was wondering if it is fine to make "Apps/System/Language-Environment"
official? It is used only by language-env, but creates 19 entries and
seems to be quite popular according to popcon.
The draft does not contain "Games" because I got stuck with it. I am
going to ask Debian Games team for what they want to change.
