The Freedesktop.org menu is not meant to be limited to GNOME and KDE
components.
IMO the Debian menu should be entirely deprecated unless something
serious is done about it. Currently:
* It is utterly and absolutely ugly. 32x32 XPM icons are not
matching the graphic quality we have on the rest of the desktop.
* Its structure is impractical. Most important things are in
Applications/, which adds a menu level with no use, and several
submenus are useless.
* Most importantly, it is absolutely full of useless stuff.
Why do we need a menu entry for each shell ? A user who wants another
shell is most probably capable of running it himself.
A menu entry for each window manager? WTF? We can select them from the
display manager now.
A menu entry for yelp? It is already accessible from all applications
needing it and from the GNOME panel.
An entry for each python/TCL/guile interpreter on the system? Can't
developers use terminals?
An entry for each of the bsdgames? For nano? For so many terminal
applications that you want to run, well, in a terminal?
Apart from a few games (see the initial request you were faced with), I
can't find anything in the Debian menu which is neither already in the
GNOME menu at a better place, or simply completely unsuitable for a
graphical menu.
