Menu Policy

Требования к WM/DE, поддерживающим меню стандарта freedesktop

• WM/DE должен выносить свое оригинальное меню в отдельный подпакет либо вообще отключать его.
• WM/DE не должен явно требовать свое оригинальное меню. Вместо этого он должен иметь зависимость на виртуальный пакет <NAME>-freedesktop-menu

Подход к построению меню

Нейтральность

.desktop файл позволяет указывать, в меню каких оконных менеджеров их показывать. Поэтому общесистемное меню должно быть оконно нейтральным, а для специфических примочек надо выделять отдельный набор .desktop файлов с указанием OnlyShowIn=БлаБла. Не нужно злоупотреблять OnlyShowIn= и NotShowIn=. Обычно,использование NotShowIn= не приносит пользы.
