All respect for seth, but I have a multi user desktop. My mother needs some applications, my dad others, my bro games, and I need some also. Evolution is the only one we all need, that's why we installed so many packages (all of them to be honest, as I am doing some work on an adaptation of fedora to our school's needs). And if this example is not enough, try having a high-school, different students require different applications, the common ones should have X-Red-Hat-Base, others should be in more. I also saw that fedora.us has X-Fedora-Base, that should be also included in the base stuff.
Ah, thus the long-term master plan that each menu item can be enabled/disabled per-user (and in fact from a user point of view, "installing" and "uninstalling" a piece of software may not be different from adding/removing it from the menu, though from an admin/root point of view it may be).
This is already possible today editing text files (see the XDG menu specification) of course, there's just no GUI on it.
