I don't think so. Several Mandriva releases ago, there was no such "More" entry, but real sub-categories in the menu. Then it changed for what we have now, but that wasn't a change in the .desktop files, rather a menu configuration. I guess that was a decision meant to bring "simplicity", but I always hated that choice, because nobody can know in advance whether an application will show in the first level or be hidden in the "more" section. I prefer a 2-level menu tree. If people find that it makes too much clicks, then they shouldn't be using the menu but add a shortcut to the applications they use regularly in their taskbar or desktop (or just use ALT+F2).
