>From the menu specification:

"Hidden should have been called Deleted. It means the user deleted (at
his level) something that was present (at an upper level, e.g. in the
system dirs). It's strictly equivalent to the .desktop file not existing
at all, as far as that user is concerned. This can also be used to
"uninstall" existing files (e.g. due to a renaming) - by letting make
install install a file with Hidden=true in it. "

We show hidden entries because users may want to turn them back on, but
the menu implementation should not show these.

Yes, the cluttering of alacarte-made-nn.desktop files is an issue. I'll
look into solving it in the future by giving the files actually good
names.
