wonk. reoccurring problem.

How about we talk to the freedesktop guys and set a standard desktop file
annotation so that we can mark any .desktop file as
'Category=Configuration/system;' ? (or something like that)

Something like that would make the mcs manager menu plugin infrastructure largely
obsolete and fall back on existing infrastructure. plemp a .desktop file in place
for each of the components and.... voila.

Most of all it would be portable and compatible with other configuration tools....

just a throught :)
