Maybe it should use NoDisplay to hide an entry from the menu ?
That is, maybe deleting can still use Hidden, but hiding could use NoDisplay
(I know, the naming is confusing).
What difference does it make? Well, when an app uses the .desktop filename of 
another app to start it (e.g. when kfmclient starts konqueror), it needs the 
.desktop file to exist as far as ksycoca is concerned, i.e. Hidden=true 
*breaks* this.
NoDisplay simply hides from the menu, but still makes the information in the 
.desktop file available to other apps which want to programmatically start 
it.

Since moving a .desktop file has to delete the old one by adding Hidden=true, 
this should remain that way though, otherwise there would be two versions of 
the .desktop file in ksycoca.

Hidden=true should really have been named Deleted=true......
