Why not just put all the stuff in applications.menu and do something
like this:
<Menu><Name>Foo</Name><Directory>Foo.directory</Directory></Name></Menu>
And Foo.directory has: NotShowIn=GNOME; or NotShowIn=KDE;.
Wouldn't this give us one .menu file and separate menu layouts?
Then who ships applications.menu? If both the kdewhatever RPM/Debian
package and the gnomewhatever package ship it, then you will get a
conflict and it will be impossible to install both Gnome and KDE.
If this file is shipped by a common package, then the conflict will be
between the KDE and Gnome maintainers for access/control/modification of
that file.
If no package ships the file and it is instead generated dynamically...
well, then that requires a pretty intelligent application in both Gnome
and KDE to modify the XML file so that merge their menus with the other
desktop's menus the right way, and deal with the administrator
modifications to boot.
