With GNOME and a non-root user, doesn't the file have to be installed
under $HOME/.gnome somewhere? This directory is typically not going to
be within the user image so a simple install of a file doesn't work.
Also, if the same application is installed three times in different user
images by a user (slightly different versions), there needs to be some
resolution regarding multiple menu entries. On Windows its a whole
different story with registry editing, etc.

3. When a package is installed we want to perform some integration

add an item to the Start menu.
I don't know what is currently being designed but to me those sound like
two well known and version useful actions. Those would be useful even
on OpenSolaris.
Adding items to menus doesn't require anything but installing a file w/ GNOME.
When setup properly, it will also automatically detect them and
refresh the menu.
I don't know about the startup task.
