Hello Andreas I belief this is not right. KDE have the menu-structure in /usr/share/applnk/, gnome in /usr/share/apps. but KDE have the application config files in /usr/share/apps. :-( In the result, I have in in the gnome-menue for alle kde-application one empty menue entry. :-(( Gnome should move to /usr/share/gnome (and KDE to /usr/share/kde ?)! The right way is to: the maintainer from the [gnome,kde]-application make gnome _and_ kde-menue files. or better: we make the menue-system better. On this way, the application have only the menu-system-files (in /usr/lib/menu/pkg ) and the menu-methods/file make the gnome and kde menu Files. Is this not the best way?
