 With the merge of PM, the user is no-longer in control of the Deskbar
 menu. The Applications menu is too crowded. Too many applications place
 links in this menu, quickly making the feature completely useless. Links
 added to Applications placed there by an .hpkg are not removable by the
 user without blacklisting the link.


 This should be done in the gui.


 I suggest removing the "virtual folders" in the Deskbar menu and simply
 placing the links in /boot/home/config/settings/deskbar/menu so that the
 user can manage the links, and Deskbar menu  as he sees fit by simply
 using Tracker.
