Worse yet - after demanding that, we probably will rewrite their
.desktop files - We will still (I hope) strive to provide menus
consistent with our way of doing things. One of the main roles of the
maintainers of a distribution is to handle interaction between each
individual package and the rest of the collection - this involves
sorting out how menus will be presented.
