I think it'd be better to separate the desk top "~/hwm-desktop" for example
I think it shouldn't be hidden too
About the menus ?
don't know, but i think it's better to separate them too "look at xfce, windowmaker, enlightnement,..." they all separate them i think
but why use those of KDE and not GNOME ? ;)
I would strongly recommend not to create another "standard" for menues and desktop items.
To much time is spent fixing sloppy defaults and bad interoperation when
using unix systems. When installing a new program for example, I have to manually add it to the menues of every desktop system I use...
Take a look atI have checked the site before and i had also changed the desktop/menu to be there standards. but they don't give a solution to the location of these files.
http://www.freedesktop.org/
it's a project trying to create standards for X desktops.
I agree with you, this can work for the Desktop files which should be on the user home directory but i could not get any good solution for the standard "general" menu location. I think that i is better to make a link to kde menu's and another link to gnome menu.
On desktop locations:
~/hwm-desktop - Uses a product name rather than a desriptive name
+ Visible in home folder
~/.gnome-desktop - Uses a product name rather than a desriptive name. - Not visible in home folder + Locallizable: you can put a link in your home folder with a localized name. ~/Desktop + Good name + Visible in home folder - Not localizable.
The best might be: if ~/Desktop or ~/.gnome-desktop exists, popup a
dialog informing the user that gnome/kde is detected, and offer to use
the detected desktops settings.
