He is, but the way alacarte works now is that you can see how the menu
would look if those items were showing.

No, but to be honest I'm not sure how useful tagging would be for your
applications menu. I suppose if you wanted to look at it funny I
already do tagging. Dragging something into a menu (actually makes a
copy) could be considered adding that tag. :) To get these "tags" all
you have to do is talk to gnome-menus and figure out which items are
the same.

But that'd just be goofy, I guess.
