and as per my earlier post ...

you've seen this ?

Yes, already can write desktop entries confidently.

... and this ?

http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apc.html

Well, it's about as clear as mud - it's only describing placing files in locations that you MUST be root do do under legacy systems, but I know for a fact that you can affect the user's menu without having to be root... which I'd like to do. Also, where the heck is "datadir" and "sysconfdir" or how do I find those? I have no environment variables (not listed by "env" anyway) that describe these.
GetEnvironmentVariable('XDG_CONFIG_DIRS') returns a blank string...

It's not often something frustrates me like this one is but I'm just having a hard time understanding what I'm reading and sync'ing it with my expectations I guess.
