No, please do not !  The one Lazarus IDE will make Gtk2, Gtk3, Qt5, Qt6 
(or Windows or MacOS) binaries. It does not matter which widget set 
Lazarus itself has been compiled with. Multiple desktop files (and 
therefore menu entries) will make people think they need to choose thier 
proposes widget set when they go to start up Lazarus. Further, they will 
think choosing, eg the Qt6 Lazarus will automatically create a Qt6 
binary, and it will not !
