    We want to install files only under /usr/local, and, for
Freedesktop.org, there's no other global place than
/usr/share/applications. Full point (AFAIK). I agree with you it's not
very clever.

    Users could make their .local/applications be a symlink to
/usr/local/share/applications. This is not a standard and they would
loose the ability to have their own private entries in their
applications menu. I think very few users actually have private entries
in their applications menu - this is not the same as launchers on the
desktop. Therefore this symlink could be considered as a workaround: the
applications menu would only expose globally installed applications,
either provided by the distro or in /usr/local. It still has to be
tested; Freedesktop might forbid it as well...
