Undeclared, by design.
Some people might want to define the menus manually.
You are optimizing for the uncommon use cases which is the wrong thing
to do IMO.

I'm not sure that this is that-uncommon (given the target user-base of
IceWM - very-low-end-machines - such as my 10 y/o laptop...) - again,
generating the menus is a CPU and I/O intensive task.
In the scale common/uncommon, you're ignoring the common case - someone
installs the software and expects it to "Just Work(TM)."
Once they have some skills, then they might fiddle with it.
And, you will impose less load by only doing it when needed (ie there's
been a s relevant system change), and speedier login by not doing it at
all at that time.
In theory, I can install this icewm-xdgmenu by default, have it run
@post, and let the users regenerate the menus manually - but then I
would most likely get a lot of "why-isn't-program-X-in-my-menu" bug
reports.
It would have been nice if I had an apt-like "suggest" feature built
into yum/rpm/etc.
