I am a late comer to this discussion and this may have been covered |
| 2 |
previously, but does this wheel need re-inventing? |

debian have a menu system which has also been picked up by mandrake, and |
| 5 |
i have been impressed with it on thse systems. Each package has a |
| 6 |
wm-neutral menu file descrbing where the package should fit in to the |
| 7 |
system, and there are system wide scripts to add those entries into each |
| 8 |
wm's menuing system. |

coupled with global menu USE flag this could work well as most of the |
| 11 |
work has been done by the debian and mandrake package maintainers. IIRC |
| 12 |
mime-types are handled too. |
