He is referring to the fact that in GNOME at least, the FDO menu
structure is dynamically created based on what you have installed at
the time. If you have hundreds of games from different genres, the
games menu will be a bunch of submenus, but if you have only a few, it
will have no sub-menus. That said, there are certainly FDO menu
implementations that do not do this, E17 with the Illume theme on
OpenMoko comes to mind. I installed sgt-puzzles there and did not get
a games sub-menu.

That is certainly possible, since there are at least 3 packages in
Debian that extend the FDO menu in some way (education-menus,
extra-xdg-menus, islamic-menus and possibly moblin-menus).
