Well apparently you need to both add an entry to
~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications and edit
~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications.vfolder-info

Browsing applications:/// does not show the Debian menu, however.
Why it is so ?

I am must say I am a bit confused by the way menus are handled.
It seems to be a modified version of XDG menu for most part
but the Debian menu being implement by another scheme.

This should probably be fixed given than Debian menu handle XDG menu
quit nicely with the menu-xdg package.

Thanks in advance for any hilight on that point.
