there is a debian package called "menu" which debian uses to give every window
manager we package the same menu hierarchy. Basically a program reads a bunch
of menu entry files and passes the output to a program provided by each window
manager which outputs the menu file. Whenever a new package is installed which
provides a menu entry the program is run again and everyone's menus are up to
date. it is quite handy.
