Hmm. Does your package edit gnome-applications.menu, or create a new
file? Will GNOME find a new file?
I notice that kdebase-data provides equivalent files - kde-* in
/etc/xdg/menus, directory files in /usr/share/desktop-directories.
(Incidentally GNOME polutes the latter directory by not using some sort
of gnome prefix.)
What will cause the hamradio-gnome package to be installed? Just manual?
I don't know if any of our other packages should actually depend on it.
I would prefer to try the GNOME crowd again, please. The KDE crowd too.
They really should not have any objection. I opened bug#339305 against
gnome-menus.
Now that I have the Debian menu back in my GNOME menu (install the
menu-xdg package), perhaps it's not so important.
