Oh no. Aside from reasons already stated, not all programs are listed under Gnome menu. Gnome menu is a nice addition but it is not yet substitute of Debian menu. Current set up is a good practical compromie. If you hate Debian menu for any reason, you can erase it by putting empty contents file in somewhere like /etc/menu with the program name as the file name. I do not care to do so though.
