the three directory hierarchies
/boot/{system,common,home/config}/data/deskbar/menu would be created.
What I do not really like about this solution is the possibility to choose arbitrary directories for the links. Furthermore, having to create links for an additional "all" flat list, or whatever we'll come up with in the future, sounds rather annoying.
On a related topic, should it be allowed for applications to put links to documentation, etc. in there, too? Because those would further complicate flat lists, too.
Bye, Axel.
