Its a long shot, but the "last access" timestamp might identify unused apps.  

There's a good chance that atime is disabled, or rendered useless by grep, hence the long shot.

Subject: [tclug-list] Tracking menu usage in gnome

Does anyone know if a log entry is created anywhere when a user launches 
an application from the gnome menu so I can gauge how much certain 
applications are used?  Yes I have to worry about launched from a 
terminal as well but many users don't know what a console is.

My google-fu isn't working for me today...
