<rant> The Linux desktop menus are a total mess. FreeDesktop came up with a broken standard (vfolders) to 'unify' KDE and Gnome (which were already pretty similar and relatively easy to work with).
But what we need is a truly standard way to create menus for all desktop environments on any Linux distribution. Something like the Debian menuing system, maybe with improved support for internationalization and other bells and whistles. </rant>
Well, as it happens, Debian appears to be embracing the FreeDesktop.org "Desktop Menu Specification" (http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec) at least judging by http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200304/msg00800.html
Oh, and who's listed as one of the authors? A certain Francois...
IMHO wine should stay far, far away from inventing anything new here, and simply obey the freedesktop.org menu spec (plus, perhaps, a legacy scheme or two until they die off). - Dan
