Seems that I forgot your hint - it's now on my TODO-List and will be
implemented soon ...
But we need the check anyway because I try to use the hints feature
in the menu entries. If the file type is HTML I try to extract the
title from the HTML file else the first line of the text file is used.

At LSM Bordeaux I has a talk with the menu maintainer Bill Allombert
and he told me that it just must be a bug in Gnome and that this should
be fixed. So I'd suggest to wait or fix the bug in the Gnome menu system.
It is a general problem and we should not try to find sirty workarounds
for CDD.
Kind regards
Andreas.
