SuSE has a quite neat scheme for that. In KDE at least, dunno about
gnome / others, I'm a KDE fanboy ;)
Menu structure is like this:
-> applications
-> internet
-> email <- GenericName
-> kmail <- Name
-> thunderburd <- Name
The special trick now is that it doesn't show menus with only one entry.
If you had only one email client installed, the "email" entry changed
from a submenu to a button which started the one installed mailer directly.
cheers,
