As far as I know our menu has about the same submenus as the standard
GNOME menu.

My Fedora menu has: Accessories, Games, Graphics, Internet, Office,
Preferences, Programming, Sound & Video, System Settings, System Tools

My GNOME CVS from a while ago menu has: Accessibility, Accessories,
Desktop Preferences, Games, Graphics, Internet, Multimedia, Office,
Other, Programming, System Tools

Not sure what latest GNOME CVS has.
