That seems primarily to be desktop apps -- such as the xplanets that 
renders the moon background i've used for 25 years (!), and a lot of 
kicker things.

I'm sort of exploring to see how the X11 desktop is organized with TDE and 
others. The others seem to use some formula that is located in [name of 
desktop].menu in /etc/menus/ but but I don't find a TRE one there.

Though now I see that there is 
an /opt/trinity/etc/xdg/menus/tde-applications.menu as well as an 
applications-merged/tde-essential.menu in that same directory 
in /opt/trinity

Apparently other desktops go foraging for other applications when they're 
installed, and they find some and not others. Some of them work and others 
don't. It is anything but straightforward. One of TDE's strengths id the 
menu editor, which is not universally found. So the user is stuck with 
what's on the menu or the command prompt to start applications. 
The "standard," used by other desktops, shows signs of committee design, 
in that it is overly complicated and makes no discernable sense.
