Probably not. 

If you're trying to set up a complete desktop environment (this file 
defines a desktop applications menu) then you probably need to decide
whether you want to use gnome or kde.

If you are just running some gnome apps and some kde apps (without a 
complete desktop environment) then it may not matter. In which
case, maybe you don't need to install gnome-menus?
