Right, but that's a good reason to do what Sune is considering: removing Debian Menu support in KDE, Gnome, etc. I don't think removing Debian menu is a good idea, as many people are still using it, but when you're using a freedesktop.org environment, this menu is really ugly, useless and duplicating entries. So, I think this menu should disappear for these desktops users, and stay for the rest of the users (obviously, keeping the packaging policies that are associated with it). Regards José L.
