the use-case where people want to organize their deskbar menu themselves,
and it would also accomodate the use-case where people couldn't care less
about having to do that. Since obviously the first group has no problem
tweaking options, they will surely find the option to disable the automatic
menu generation and how to place links themselves, while it's a good idea
to make the automatism the default for those users who don't want to spend
time configuring.

+1.

Stephan's explanation shows how the autogenerated applications list would
work by default and how users who want more control can easily obtain it
via 1 setting and editing the deskbar's entries in the same fashion as it
is now (file management of symlinks).
