The menu files are often in /etc/xdg/menus/ and I'm pretty sure I've 
seen in early Gnome 2.x already a file called gnome-applications.menu.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it was the first desktop that gained the file.

So it certainly works to some extend, but I have to admit I'm not using 
gnome and I'm not familiar with it (Xfce only here) so I can't give any 
guarantees.
