I agree, as far as GNOME and KDE stop using two kinds of menus at the same time.
What about adding {icon[1],i18n,etc} support to Debian Menu, as others said on
this thread? If we can automate .desktop => Debian process, so there's no *big*
reason to use freedesktop.org standard, as the main advantage would become the
fact of being a standard :-).
Also, the program icons in Debian menus is one thing that is annoying me since
I met Debian, as I can't use them in a larger size (aka in my desktop)
beautifully.
