I'm not sure if a concrete place is a good idea....well actually something 
needs to go in a concrete place alright, but I'd prefer to see some sort 
of xml file ie. menu-locations.xml for the location of the .desktop files

<menu_config>
<search_path>
	<item>/opt/gnome/share/apps</item> 
	<item>/usr/share/apps</item>
	<item>blah blah blah</item>
</search_path>
</menu_config>

but then we gotta try and decide how the vfolders fit into this....and if
this is to be successful, then things need to be heirarchical...
ie. does a user vfolder override a group/system override a distribution etc..?

	Anyways...just some initial thoughts,
