 * ah, the *.desktop files need to be in ~/.local/share/applications/.
 (even if the `Category=` is something other than "Applications")

 * need to make a ~/.config/xfce4/panel/xfce4-menu-9999.rc clone of xfce4-
 menu-1.rc.  (if ~/.config doesn't exist at time of making the user account
 we'll have to go further upstream to the templates)

 * in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/panels.xml need to add an entry for this new
 pulldown menu (again clone from -1.rc, & put it right after that)

 * in -360.rc point it to /usr/local/share/gisvm/xfce-osgeo.menu, which is
 a cropped down clone of /etc/xdg/xubuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu; but
 only containing entries for Desktop, Servers, GeoTools, etc...)


 ... some work to do yet, but it will happen.
