I agree with Dan. As I read the spec, the second move should be a noop,
resulting in a final submenu named 'Apps'. If the second behavior is
desired, then the spec should be reworded.                                      
                                                                                
Anyone from the gnome/kde/freedesktop camps care to comment on this?
