Hi,

I finished my research.

gnome and kde are xdg compatible. So they picks up .desktop files
automaticaly.

TODO:

- make common xdg configuration in /etc/xdg/menu and
  /usr/share/desktop-directories. (gnome/kde have own)
- write parser for xdg XML (perl) to simplify output format
- write few WM methods which take parsed output from xdg parser and make
  menu items.

Output format from xdg parser:

  path/to/application1/in/menu
  icon-name1.png
  command to run app1
  long application1 description
  path/to/application2/in/menu
  icon-name2.png
  command to run app2
  long application2 description

4 lines per menu item.

Suggestions?
