I begun to make a xdg application menu with full support for the<br>
additional FreeDesktop categories for fvwm. It will be usable with any<br>
desktop/wm that support the xdg menu.<br>

Before I continue, I want to be sure I am not making duplicated<br>
efforts. I googled, but didn't find any xdg applications menu with full<br>
support for the additional categories. Are you aware of such an<br>
existing menu?<br>
<br>
Also, I am looking for translated category files (the files<br>
into /usr/share/desktop-directories/). I was able to find such files<br>
for the main categories, but google return almost nothing for the<br>
additional categories files. Are you aware of the existence of such<br>
translated files?<br>
<br>
Last, it can be hacks for desktops like gnome, kde, and so on, as well<br>
than for some distributions. For now, I simply let xdg do its job,<br>
don't have much time and have other priorities as well. What do you<br>
think would be best to do with these hacks when my menu will be done<br>
with all the additional categories?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Dominique<br>
