thos menu files almost never have apps listed. they list categories and let the .desktop files populate the menu categories based on the category in the desktop file. :) so it's more a matte of having a .menu file that defines what categories u want to list int he menu and how, and then having desktop files for your apps that have the categories set right. :) > Only X11 apps should be listed in the e17 Apps menu.
