please don't do that ! i'm willing to invest some work to the panel
applications, so that both panels can read both files. in the end i hope
we can even make the debian menu system read that files.
windows has this - every applications can register itself in the menu system
with nice icons. i want this for linux too, but better. and there should be
one common system, not two, three or more and incompatible systems.
