I'll have to check out the menu-methods you're using to see what it does.
But I'm not sure this is a good idea, especially for an official Debian
ROX. We already have our own menu system, and applications which make sense
to be run from a menu entry are already required to install an entry for it.
And btw, I also have a hacked version of rox-menu [1] in my repository (be
it an out of date one, again) with it's own menu-method to use the Debian
menu.

I agree, but currently I would also oppose to a package in the archives
*with* AppDir functionality. It's a bad idea for several reasons. Someone
with enough time and enough incentive should think of a good way to do it
right. (Although, frankly, I don't see any reason why it should be useful -
the arguments on the ROX homepage are all void since there are other ways to
achieve all of them)

I have, but it will probably not be useful as-is combined with your packages
:-)
