Are you saying that the drop down menu predates all the applications it
shows?  Somehow I don't think that's the case.  I believe the menu does
the 'integration' of all those packages and shows them no matter the
package or menu origin date.

I must be missing something, but can't figure out just what.  

What is it about Unity which causes it to need packages to support it
instead of it supporting the packages?  It seems to make for a
quite limited number of 'supported' packages.  

Maybe that's the entire point?
