Hey Enrico,

Nice to see you're still powering on with the Debian usability stuff. :-)
Was nice to see you in Perth!

One place you should definitely check out is freedesktop.org, especially
xdg-list. There has been discussion about the shared menu spec there, and a
little while ago there were a few Debian dudes looking into it as the
next-gen Debian menu system.
