In the sled10 timeframe there was discussion about moving to the XDG standard for menu generation. See comments 12 and 14 in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=274974

However that kind of fell through the cracks and was closed for sled10. Any thoughts on this for the future ?

Is this about teaching Qt/ncurses control centres to read XDG-compliant XML menu structure, living somewhere in /etc/xdg, all that (possibly) using libgnomemenu?

Exactly. We generated an XDG menu that matched the current layout and it gets layed down in /etc/xdg/menus/YaST-gnome.menu. Of course any time there is a change though the 2 approaches get out of sync and we get bugs like this.

If so, I consider this to be an useful feature, as it would win us not only Freedesktop standard conformance (which we currently violate with structure using Groups .desktop files), but consistency of categorization across different UIs as well.

also one standard way for large deployments to customize the menu.

But ... for reasons I'd rather not make public, I'm not so optimistic when it comes to actual implementation :( Those have nothing to do with libgnomemenu, though.
