Both KDE and GNOME applications.menu are in ~mezz/menu/, so you can
compare the difference. We can either merge both of applications.menu into
one or try to rename applications.menu to (kde|gnome)-applications.menu. I
am not sure about <MergeFile> stuff...so.. What I have in my mind is
something like this below, but I have no idea if it will working. If that
don't work, then do either merge into one or hack all apps for rename of
applications.menu.
applications.menu:
======================================
[...]
<Menu>
<MergeFile>kde-applications.menu</MergeFile>
<Include> <!-- not remember if need this -->
<And> <!-- not remember if need this -->
<Not>
<Or>
<Category>GTK</Category>
<Category>GNOME</Category>
</Or>
</Not>
</And>
</Include>
</menu>
<Menu>
<MergeFile>gnome-applications.menu</MergeFile>
<Include> <!-- not remember if need this -->
<And> <!-- not remember if need this -->
<Not>
<Or>
<Category>Qt</Category>
<Category>KDE</Category>
</Or>
</Not>
</And>
</Include>
</menu>
[...]
======================================
I saved two links in my bookmark about applications.menu conflict:
