I've only skimmed over your proposal so far. btw I didn't see a description of
how you'll actually make all the WMs aware of the menu. Do you want to
autogenerate, from the central menu tree, a custom-format menu tree for every
installed WM?
Anyway, what about the freedesktop.org standard for .desktop files? It has
some very nice features such as multiple categories per item,
multilpe-language descriptions, etc. More importantly, both kde and gnome
will use that standard in their next releases (maybe gnome already does, not
sure). So why don't we build on top of that? Other people in other distros,
as well as the developers of various packages and of WMs other than kde and
gnome, will surely be adding support for it in the future. Why do we want yet
another custom system? How is it better than what freedesktop.org has (with
perhaps portage-centric tools written to make things easier)?
