    System applications'.desktop files are in /usr/share/applications/,
and (I guess) in /usr/local/share/applications/

    User's ones are in $HOME/.local/share/applications/

    This makes three directories to search.

    And you still need a program able to interpret the .desktop, which
is not very difficult though.

    I imagine dmenu has no mean to display the icons, but you can
probaly extract the application's name and decription matching the
current locale, the path to the executable, the current dir and wether
the application must run inside an xterm.

    All that, together with Steve's recipe might build a decent, while
iconless, dmenu-based appfinder.
