Hi,
Many years ago, SuSE used selfmade menu. Now, according to freedesktop.org's specs and implementations in software there's no need.
Upstream provides .desktop files, mostly well translated.
By creating .desktop files, you're reinventing the wheel, making SUSE's menu entries inconsistent with other distros, and messing in menu.
You may ask "what's that mess?".
The mess is: * more categories than entries in those categories * entries duplication * wrong categories set (Liferea is RSS aggregator, not newsgroups client/whatever, same applies for Miro) * configuration apps not in GNOME's control center but in usual "Applications" menu and/or application browser
openSUSE should stop that. Apps already provide .desktop files, as said before. desktop-file-install should be used to install them (probably with --vendor and --delete original as schema).
Screenshots from GNOME: http://www.sendspace.com/file/mtf3lw I'll probably have to find better host for these screenshots. Tell me, when this doesn't work.
That's most probably because of the menu files that are used. We have applications.menu, applications.menu.kde and applications.menu.gnome -- I'm not sure all GNOME applications use applications.menu.gnome (and looking at this file, it seems outdated). So we can fix it in the packaging of gnome-menus, I believe.
Two questions here: + applications.menu.gnome seems to be outdated. Can we kill it/replace it/do whatever I want with it? + I'd really love to use upstream applications.menu for GNOME. It's much much cleaner. Really. This would make the menu bar and upstream main menu more usable. But I don't know what's the impact on the application browser.
