FYI
Out of the 96 packages that declared some kind of dependency on menu:
32 packages "depend" on menu to pull su-to-root
6 window manager/panel "depend" on menu directly.
6 packages "depend" on menu for other/unidentified reason
and
2 window managers/panels "recommend" menu directly.
20 window managers/panels "suggest" menu directly.
29 packages providing a mere menu entry were "suggest"/"recommend"
on menu (bugs filed)
note that tasksel's desktop task install menu on G/K/X/L desktops AFAIK.
Package that depend on menu that need /usr/bin/su-to-root

backintime-kde: "Run as Root" menu entry seems to miss.
