The #1 usability problem with the Debian menu is the huge amount of entries. If you repeat this mistake with the freedesktop menus, a menu system that has been nice so far (nice, not great) would become almost as crappy as the previous situation. Said otherwise: you’re entitled to improve the situation for crapwm if you want, but if you break GNOME in the process, I don’t see this as a win. -- .''`.
