Ok folks, I have fixed some issues in the documentation and I think it
should be usable now. Please send your comments by replying to this
email.

I've also pushed menu-xdg with support for xdg keyword and I'll push
desktop-common-data with the new applications-mdk.menu file (no longer
generated).

It also contains the new infrastructure for old window managers and I've
already converted all window managers in main cooker to the new
infrastructure (I'll push fixed packages in the following minutes).

I haven't switch the whole infrastructure to XDG system, so conversion
script is still called update-menus-xdg and will be renamed update-menus
when all packages will be converted to the new XDG system.

I didn't include all registered keyword in applications-mdk.menu file
(probably next week) and I haven't wrote the
applications-mdk-simplified.menu file either.

We will still need to patch GNOME and KDE to read translations from
menu-messages mo file when translations are missing from
upstream .desktop file.
