Not necessarily --- the way I see it, the modification both for the launcher and for the menu, is equivalent. With the launcher, the way it is right now, you click on it, you open the application; if the application by default opens with a blank, newly-created document, that's its business, and the Desktop environment has no saying in that. Exactly the same thing with the menu. You click on the menu for the application, and the application simply opens (with or without a blank document). So, with the modification I proposed, both would get an exactly equivalent modification: if the user has never opened documents for the particular application, then both the launcher and the menu would be exactly as they are right now. As soon as the user opens a document, then the launcher gets its little arrow to open a list of recent documents, and the menu item gets a sub-menu with the list of recent documents. IMHO, both are necessary to maintain consistency.
