Hi!

I was more thinking of the fact that we would have to write menu
control-files (or what they would be called) for every app we have that
would make sence being put in a menu.

Also we have to figure out how we would do this in the best way, I'm
personally not a fan of Debians "Debian"-menu that show up under every
category. I think that many users might find it confusing to have
something like:

Mainmenu
       Apps
       ...
       Graphics
       Internet
       ...
       Debian
             Apps
             ...
             Graphics
             Internet
             ...

With all apps showing up in the Debian submenu and only the GNOME (for
example) apps showing up in the first categories.
