Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to this: http://articles.linuxguru.net/view/137?PHPSESSID=c0a80203QlQ q Both Gnome and KDE do not use a single file to manipulate their menus. Instead they use a sort of directory structure with description files within those directories to manipulate their menus. A combination of all these directories (/usr/share/gnome/apps/... for gnome) and the directory, .order and .desktop files, are all used collectively to make up the menu. So, I am sure it could still be done, but it is not as easy as just a one file conversion....right?
