Some time ago I sent a patch to raster for enlightenment, to build the
application (and themes) menues by scanning for *.desktop and *.kdelnk files.
I think this is a much better solution than editing rc-files manually.

Maybe we should offer a script to build the rc files for some common WMs from
the *.desktop files installed. Oh, and KDE has a nice script for generating
*.kdelnk files for some common applications, like Netscape and Emacs, if they're
found in the Path.
