Just to say it: I think, the solution to have all desktop files in one 
directory would solve quite some problems _KDE has_. Do you see all
the uninstall.desktop files in CVS? They are there, because applications
can't easily be moved. It would make editing the menu a lot easier as you
don't have to create two files if the user wants to change the position 
in the menu (one to mark it as deleted and a copy), but one (a copy of
the desktop file marking it's new position overriding the old position - 
if you implement merging of the desktop file, you can even keep the sysadmin
info (e.g. the way to start the application) in sync with the system.

And the idea makes the life of distributions much easier as very often you
want different menu hierarchy for different desktops with the same 
applications and currently the only solution is to copy the content, which
is quite of ugly.
