XFCE Applications Menu Editor - Version 0.4 with GUI

My lazy side-project xfce-appmenu now has finally become a seriously usable tool. it even has a .deb package for easy installation.

Project website: http://my.opera.com/Texel/blog/2008/02/ … editor-0-4

Any feedback is most welcome:)

Concerning categories: it would be nice if I could choose these via checkbox. Beginners often don't know the categories. Something like the 3rd picture on http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentat … om_actions where you can choose []directories, ...
