Please provide a way to remove hidden desktop files

Hi, I have been trying to deal with https://launchpad.net/bugs/118936. In order to fix that fully we need to be able to revert deletions. Alacarte implements deletions by adding a .desktop file in the user's home directory with "Hidden=True" set, and so it disappears from the editor. However, it's currently not possible to revert this, as the .desktop files from the user's home directory can't be iterated. It would be great if libgnome-menu could provide such functionality, or something else to make this possible. If I have missed functionality that exists already to do this I apologise, and I would also appreciate any other suggestions you have for a way to implement all of this. Thanks, James
Maybe adding a new flag GMENU_TREE_FLAGS_INCLUDE_HIDDEN...
