Anyway, we have more control on the debian menu layout than on the other
things you propose, if the debian menu is badly layouted or other such,
then it should be fixed, not discarded. Consistency, not only between
KDE/Gnome but also between all other desktop systems/window managers
debian proposes is a good thing.
