Hi,
I've made some additions to the script /etc/menu-methods/rox-filer:

1) If there is no icon for an application, or if the file $icon doesn't 
exist, the script will look for /usr/share/*$package.png or 
/usr/share/*$package.xpm and use it as icon.
2) .DirIcon is used for directory icon instead of the deprecated AppIcon.xpm
3) the Help - directory is a link to /usr/share/doc/$package
4) AppInfo.xml is created, containing tooltip $longtitle. If no 
longtitle exist, apt-cache show $package is used (grep'ing the line with 
"Description:")

An issue with 4 is that if there is more than one application in one 
.deb - package and no longtitles exist for them, the tooltip shows the 
description for the whole package, rather than for the application.
And there is a problem with special characters in AppInfo.xml. If there 
are any, the tooltip won't be shown due to incorrect-UTF-8-encoding.

I hope you can make any use of the script. It at least would be great to 
hear what you think of it.
