You should not rely on changing the layout of an existing menu to work if you use applications-merged. There is no guarantee on the order things will be loaded from applications-merged, no guarantee it won't be overridden in applications.menu (which is what you're trying to 'fix' here), and no guarantee the user doesn't have an override.
Basically, the correct answer is not to fix all of this stuff, the correct answer in "Don't Do That". You have no reason or right to rearrange my menu from applications-merged, that is supposed to be used to add new menus for 3rd party applications (see WINE). -- Cannot change layout using applications-merged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
