I think this abuses .desktop files a little bit too much.

Other than, there is an effort under way to have a menu standard which will 
hopefully be shared by both GNOME and KDE as well as others and I'm working 
to implement it for KDE 3.2. See for the current draft:
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu/draft/menu-spec/menu-spec.html

And the mailinglist can be found at:
xdg-list at freedesktop.org

Since the current version does not foresee a specific sortorder, seperators or 
specific titles you might want to read up on it and make some suggestions for 
how to add those to the standard.

Cheers,
Waldo
