Gnome desktop is also hidden "~/.gnome-desktop" but i prefer that hwm 
personal files be kept in one directory "~/.hwm"

What i have already done "In my personal computer" is linking to 
"/usr/share/applnk" with the name "KDE Menus" and "/etc/X11/applnk" with 
the Name "Gnome Menus" because most of the RPM's installs the menu files 
to these tow directories.
