Then you're not talking about efreet itself, but about the menu file provided as
part of the e17-data package. if you find something not conforming to the specs
in efreet, please feel free to open a separate bugreport.

Sorry, I don't get your point.

For the record, this menu is only provided as a fallback menu in case the user
doesn't have any, and was never made to be spec-compliant or anything. Now that
e17 has a decent way to select a default menu via the wizard module, I think
I'll just drop it and make e17 depend on menu-xdg. Suggestions ?
