Gnome and KDE agree on a standard for describing menu entries, the entries
are dewscribed in ".desktop" files and arranged in direcories.
They do *not* agree on where these files should be placed, the Gnome menus
start at [prefix]/share/gnome/apps, while KDE (I believe) start at
[prefix]/share/AppLink

The closest I've come to any formal documentations are this document:
http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/kdelibs/kio/DESKTOP_ENTRY_STANDARD

For a brief overview, try the two slides at
http://devel-home.kde.org/~ctibirna/altlin/ws/html/slide_34.html
