Updates to the .desktop files.(I may be talking from the rear though... that
is a guess...)

My system:
Pentium 3 667mhz. 768 MB of 133 SDRAM. Latest Rawhide (3 February... test
carried out after full update at 3pm UK time...)

Testing: try one menu type, reboot, try other. Wait til everything is loaded
before trying. timing method: 1 elephant, 2 elephant, 3 elephant. (Sorry...
that loses this 'test' alot of credibility...)

1. Combined menu: Approx 7 seconds on a cold boot.
2. Default gnome-menu: immediate. 0 seconds on cold boot.
3. after logging out and logging back in without a reboot, the combined menu
still takes around 1.5 seconds.

These times feel faster than it was taking a few days before my first post.
(I mentioned I felt a speed up a few days prior to that email...). And the
system is frozen while the combined menu does its thing.
