Thanks for the suggestion. I agree, with questions: How many is too many? I understand that having many top-level menus with a few entries each may be confusing, but grouping electronics, science and hamradio applications on one menu is also rather odd. Can submenus be made to appear automatically? I should study the standards. I opened #339305 requesting gnome-menus add a ham radio menu more than two years ago and unfortunately the maintainer has not responded at all. That still leaves KDE. I guess it has its own implementation of the standard XDG menus somewhere. Is it better to have a single implementation of these extra menus that could be recommended by gnome-menus and (?)kdelibs-data?
