Hello Debian GNOME maintainers, Please find a menu-methods that generate the Debian menu in vfolder-info format for gnome-panel in sarge:
1) copy the first attached file to /etc/menu-methods/gnome-vfolder 2) copy the second attached file to /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.template 3) save /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info if you have made any change to this file, since it will be overwritten. 4) Install the menu-xdg package 5) Rerun update-menus as root with a non-C locale. At this point gnome-panel should display an extra Debian menu translated in the current GNOME language selection. However, I didn't manage to make it work for user menu. Any help welcome. Cheers, Bill.
