Good stuff, David.

To get started with something, here is a patch which changes the Name
of the "Software Update Viewer" in the menus to "Update System", and
changes the
categorization to make it easier to move menuitems to the right spot
in the menus.
It also removes some tech-speak ("packages") from the tooltips on the
menu items.

With this patch, adding

 <Include>
   <And>
     <Category>PackageManager</Category>
     <Category>Core</Category>
   </And>
 </Include>

to the end of applications.menu will move pk-application to the bottom
of the application menu. You may also want to add

 <!-- Add a separator after the submenus -->
  <Layout>
     <Merge type="menus"/><Separator/><Merge type="files"/>
  </Layout>

when doing so.

Moving pk-update-viewer to the toplevel in the system menu will not be
so easy, since the panel still hand-rolls that menu (instead of using
a .menu file). With the
current menus and panel, it shows up in System>Administration, which
is acceptable for now, I think.
