I think we should use gnome-applications.menu, kde-applications.menu,
etc but still have applications-merged/ merge in to these menus. That
way each DE/WM can have their own menu and 3rd parties can still put
things in a standard location and have them show up.
KDE installs:
applications.menu
kde-information.menu
kde-screensavers.menu
kde-settings.menu
applications-merged/kde-essential.menu
applications-merged/kde-multimedia-music.menu
and then if you edit the menu:
applications-merged/applications-kmenuedit.menu
So, your suggestion would seem to be compatible with the current KDE
practice -- only two would need to be renamed.xwp-office.menu
But, I wonder about how software would parse this. In the "menu"
directory, there is no problem, the menu would only use the files that
started with "kde", which the program would know.
But, I have added:
applications-merged/Engineering.menu
applications-merged/misc.menu
applications-merged/xwp-office.menu
as you can see, the third one could be a problem. Is there a desktop
called: "xwp"? So, I would suggest that if we are going to do it by
prefix that this be setup like this (in my example):
kde-applications.menu
kde-information.menu
kde-screensavers.menu
kde-settings.menu
kde-applications-merged/essential.menu
kde-applications-merged/multimedia-music.menu
kde-applications-merged/applications-menuedit.menu
applications-merged/Engineering.menu
applications-merged/misc.menu
applications-merged/xwp-office.menu
and there is no ambiguity even though the parser doesn't know the names
of all the desktops. All it needs to know for KDE is: "kde" and
"applications". The last three would be used by all desktops.
