Please go ahead, it's a good idea. In fact Eduard already made the 
appfinder a custom widget, so that it might be moved to a library to be 
used in other programs.

The problem here for me is that every one of our programs that deal with 
menus or desktop files has a different implementation. I really would 
like to have one common way to get a list of applications.

Anyway, I'm not going to get to this for 4.4.0, but it is a good request.
