A while ago I pondered whether it would be a good idea to write a fuse filesystem that uses the xdg-menu data (which spread out through the filesystem, not just in /usr/local/share/applications, mind you!) to dynamically generate wrappers. You would just mount it at /GNUstep/Applications/Legacy and be done :-). I still think it's a neat idea, maybe worth putting forward as a potential GSoC project?
