Some time ago I had a short conversation with him on this issue via email. > Bill is very opened to this, but it probably needs work *inside* menu > to support localized entries such as "title-xx" and "longtitle-xx" and > *outside* menu so that .desktop files are translatable through the use > of PO files (something like a "po-menu" utility working similarly to > po-debconf and putting the strings in debian/po). In addition to extending menufile format so that it would include all necessary information for generating localized menus, I also suggested merging Debian Menu with XDG menu in a way that appropriate .desktop files could be generated via Debian Menu system. This would allow us to have Policy compliant [1] menu structure in freedesktop.org-friendly desktop environments, and get rid of duplicate menu entries that currently plague these DEs. I will not go into detail, as I have not yet received his answers to all my messages, but this is something I am really interested in working on. [1] Not the current one. The one we are working on (bug #361418). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
