Please explain this phrase. Ecspecially the "other existing systems".
Debian menu-system has many disadvantages, though I've not heared of
any other system at all.
(One of the problems is KDE's inability to use it. Thoug KDE is well
known to no integrate well. Is it able to parse /etc/printcap nowaday?)

Seems to be both for the "desktop" and the "menus". I do not see what
they have in common.
It seems to miss some things, most important in my eyes a possibility to
switch window managers. (I doubt it is usable for anything than KDE or
Gnome)
