[Portland] SuSE's xdg-menu

[Bastian, Waldo]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Although it is rather
inconvenient that we will have to change the name, it's nice to have
caught this before an actual release :-} 

Let's vote on the new name:

+1 from me for renaming xdg-menu / xdg-desktop to
xdg-desktop-menu / xdg-desktop-icon

>I haven't yet found the official xdg-menu webpage.

name

>Some ideas for you:

>xdg-menu-system
>xdg-application-menu
>xdg-menu-installer
>xdg-desktop-menu

>(On a related note, xdg-desktop could be renamed to mention "icon" as
part
