launcher panels, taskbar, window managers that use menu, icon theme, desktop entry specs?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Are there any lists of software that already take advantage of the
freedesktop.org Menu Specification, Icon Theme Specification, and/or
Desktop Entry Specification?

Does anyone know of any lightweight panel, taskbar, or window managers
that can use the specifications?

For example, I looked at fbpanel, fspanel and taskbar which all appear to
use their own formats. (Although, fbpanel and taskbar do use EWMH.)

I hope to help implement a way for pkgsrc (used by NetBSD and other
platforms) to automatically add menu entries when installing packages.

I want to easily try different window managers and X components without
too much time (or no time) reconfiguring. For example, I want to switch
different window managers and launchers quickly (without regenerating her
menus) so my wife can choose one that is best for her.

If a list of software doesn't exist, I'll be glad to make one or some
which can be added to the wiki(s). Just let me know what software to add.
