We define menu entities for Gnome in trunk/ubuntu/libs/gnome-menus.ent
which in turn points at the entries in trunk/ubuntu/menus/C

We need to make a new entry for f-spot, as it entered the desktop quite

No, that's no problem - we are going to revert to our previous practice
which means that entities get expanded out before the translation
process - you should use an entity where it is going to save effort with
typing the phrase or where something could easily change (for example, a
menu entry or a url).
