I'm not sure that this is that-uncommon (given the target user-base of
IceWM - very-low-end-machines - such as my 10 y/o laptop...) - again,
generating the menus is a CPU and I/O intensive task.

In theory, I can install this icewm-xdgmenu by default, have it run
@post, and let the users regenerate the menus manually - but then I
would most likely get a lot of "why-isn't-program-X-in-my-menu" bug
reports.

It would have been nice if I had an apt-like "suggest" feature built
into yum/rpm/etc.
