Is this about teaching Qt/ncurses control centres to read XDG-compliant XML 
menu structure, living somewhere in /etc/xdg,  all that (possibly) using 
libgnomemenu?

If so, I consider this to be an useful feature, as it would win us not only 
Freedesktop standard conformance (which we currently violate with structure 
using Groups .desktop files), but consistency of categorization across 
different UIs as well.

But ... for reasons I'd rather not make public,  I'm not so optimistic when it 
comes to actual implementation :( Those have nothing to do with libgnomemenu, 
though.
