I find that it's fine as it is: it's nice and easy to get to. If you want to
bury 'Games' in that way, fine, but don't inflict it on my desktop.
What would actually be useful is for packages which provide lots of menu
entries to use their own submenus. sgt-puzzles, which provides 27, is one
such; with several other entries in Games/Puzzles, it gets a bit long...

I don't see why they belong there. Most of the entries below Screen aren't
configuration at all. The last two probably belong within 'Window Managers',
and I couldn't care less where that ends up (but "Screen" seems reasonable) -
then again, that could be because I never use those submenus... :-)
