I agree, I always use /usr/share/applications for all program launchers,
but there are still alot of programs (from universe, I know it's not 
supported), that still use this old directory, for example, d4x.

Also several window managers, still use this old directory for looking 
in (and hopefully the new f.d.o one as well).

I know thats it's down the the packagers to alter their files, to 
conform to the f.d.o file structure, but until they all do,
I feel that we should still support the old structure as well.

This is going to help if upstream in the main debian repository, they 
are fixed, it may well be worth entering a bug report.
