The menu spec lets you have different desktop specific application menus
on your system by prefixing each one, and then specifying the desired
one by setting the XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable.

XDG_MENU_PREFIX="debian-" enlightenment_start

will pick that menu for your.

Basically, ensuring that a menu gets found by properly configuring the
environment is the job of the distribution/packagers.

However, since e is unreleased, and it would be nice to have things work
'out of the box' on as many distros as possible, a better solution would
be to search the XDG paths for menus, and allow the user to select one
(or more) to show in e's main menu.

Regardless, no changes need to be made to efreet for this, just to how e
uses efreet.
