Ah, thanks! After commenting out the "legacy dir" stanza, the menu looks
/much/ better!

I was looking for something like "system.menu", corresponding
to the menu's name. Would be a good idea to have it renamed.

Well, I've filed a bug against pan ages ago, but without reaction. I don't
know about the KDE stuff. "find /usr/share/applnk -name "*desktop""
returns 322 files,

dlocate `find /usr/share/applnk/ -name "*desktop"`|awk '{print $1}'\
|sort|uniq|wc -l

returns 52 packages.

So either KDE hasn't gone for /usr/share/applications or it is a case for
mass bug filing.

Thanks,

Johannes
