Hi Josselin, to achieve this reasonnable default, the maintainers of programs with a menu entry need some instructions whether they should hide their entry in the major desktop managers like GNOME, KDE and Xfce. Could the GNOME team show the way and issue a couple of guidelines? For instance what to do if there is no icon available or the icon does not have an alpha channel? Is it a hint that the entry should not show up in the GNOME menu? For the moment, my personnal policy is to always add a FreeDesktop menu entry and a Debian menu entry whenever the program is graphical. But I would be most happy to make the FreeDesktop entry conform to the vision of the teams who make the desktop managers available to our users.
