Can you name the ones that are still developed in that list? Only one
half, I'm afraid. It is not a big surprise that wmaker does not
support a standard created more or less when the latest, only

Why do you say that this programs would have no reason to use the
.desktop stuff? What reasons would they have to use the Debian Menu
instead?
