Good question - do we really _want_ xdg entries for all the more primitive X
apps?  I've complained before that kubuntu turns _off_ menu entries
(they're there, but hidden) for KDE apps I think should be on the menu
(actually, maybe it doesn't any more, but in the early days of my hoary use
it seemed to be a problem).  This just demonstrates that I'd draw the line
of what should be allowed to clutter the menus in a different place from
the kubuntu developers.
