I will take a look at those files. Most wm support the freedesktop norm,
but it is some wm as fvwm that don't support it. Debian have a "menu" package
that take care of it for any debian supported wm. That implies at on debian, a
dev must not only provide a .desktop file but also some entries for the menu
software.
It will be great to make a program that will do it on gentoo.
