Are there any concrete plans to fix it properly? If not, then it would be
unwise to wait around until a plan magically appears. It's better to make
progress.

And when could 2.0 happen? As far as I understand it 1.4 comes first. If so,
then nobody could sensibly expect 2.0 to happen any time soon.

Let's at least fix the type in gnome_app_find_menu_pos() and similar. That's
quite minor.
