Why don't Gnome/KDE handle this the way windows does? The start menu is 
just a normal folder, and the program groups are just normal folders, 
with normal files inside of them. When you click start it just displays 
them in a way that's different from when you normally open a folder. 
This makes a lot more sense to me than wasting development time on a 
menu designer.
