Symlinking the icons is not essential so I don't mind removing it from
kmenu-gnome.spec but I don't see how symlinking _these specific icons_ would be
harmful. It is unlikely that they would ever be included in Bluecurve or Crystal
SVG.

However, patching xdg merge files like /etc/xdg/menus/system-settings.menu is a
must if you put anything into /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged to suppress a
bug caused by a harmful piece of code found in (almost?) all of the xdg merge
files installed with redhat-menus.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196275 for details.

The patch in %post temporarily fixes the bug caused by redhat-menus while the
patch in %preun is a reverse patch to undo what the patch in %post did.

As for making a proper xdg menu and using $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, I don't understand
how one could do it less intrusively than kmenu-gnome does.
