redhat-menus and redhat-lsb fixes

[Razvan Corneliu C.R. "d3vi1" VILT]

Since the version shift in redhat-menus gnome lost it's More submenus.
I'm pretty positive that most users will consider this a bug, so I
attached here a patch for redhat-menus.

Also I've attached one for redhat-lsb because it simply won't install
(anaconda overrides this) kill was moved from /usr/bin to /bin, and the
spec wasn't updated.

Otherwise cheers

Seth Nickell argues:

"Stuff shouldn't be in More...  if people go out of their way to install
other software, they most likely want that item to show up in the normal
menus, not under More.  Furthermore, if people do Everything installs,
they asked for it and their menus are going to be cluttered."

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.
What about the redhat-lsb package? Was the patch submitted?

Then again, this is just my personal opinion, no other persons reacted
to this thread, so I guess nobody else is bothered by this.

Best Regards,

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.
