*sigh* I wonder whether it breaks the applications-merged crap...

Given this is support for third-party applications that want to do
horrible things by changing the menus instead of dropping .desktop files
anyway, and given the number of things we discover broken by it, I
wonder whether we should revert all the changes I introduced on request
of the freedesktop guys...

Waldo, I'd like to hear a very good reason to keep these changes. One
thing that may motivate someone to spend the huge amount of time needed
to understand the overly complicated menu specifications, dig into the
pile of crap the applications-merged changes trigger, and get everything
to work. I have already spent way too much time on this, and the only
results so far are broken features.
