Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-menus

As part of the investigation for bug 297195 we (Kubuntu) noticed that
GNOME doesn't use gnome-applications.menu like suggested in the desktop
menu spec. [1]

According to the Xubuntu people XFCE is going to implement the menu spec
in upcoming version 4.6, so I guess having all 3 major desktops is a
perfect reason to completely follow the specification's suggestion.

That said. GNOME should use gnome-applications.menu and set the
$XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable to "gnome-" in the
script/application responsible for launching GNOME/creating the GNOME
menu tree. Same will most likely be done for XFCE once 4.6 is available
and KDE will follow this approach as part of the above mentioned bug'
solution
