No.

I don't want the extra step "Extras menu".

If i want xmms in the menu :
$ rpm -i|yum install|system-config-package|... xmms

If i don't want xmms :
$ rpm -e xmms


Why should we have entries in the menu if we don't use them ?
Why add an extra step for an application that the user use ?

Set the best default and then let users to add their preferred
applications and remove some default applications if they don't use
them.
