** Description changed: - Merged files from /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ or the user's home directory are supposed to be able to override the default file settings. According to the freedesktop standard the merge files should therefore be read in last. However, the <DefaultMergeDirs/> element is at the top of all of lubuntu's menu files (LXDE's files are broken as well) and so the default overrides the merge. The best way to test this is with a layout potion in the merge file. The <DefaultMergeDirs/> should be the last entry before the last </Menu> in the files: + Merged files from /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ or the user's home directory are supposed to be able to override the default file settings. According to the freedesktop standard the merge files should therefore be read in last. However, the <DefaultMergeDirs/> element is at the top of all of lubuntu's menu files (LXDE's files are broken as well) and so the default overrides the merge. The best way to test this is with a layout portion in the merge file. The <DefaultMergeDirs/> should be the last entry before the last </Menu> in the files: /etc/xdg/lubuntu/menus/lubuntu-nexus7-applications.menu /etc/xdg/lubuntu/menus/lxde-applications.menu Because of the specialized use of the /etc/xdg/lubuntu/menus/lxgames- applications.menu, I would suggest removing <DefaultMergeDirs/> altogether. This bug breaks packages that add files to /etc/xdg/menus/applications- merged/ directory like ubuntustudio-menu and menu editors such as alacarte (this is not a full list, just examples) and it breaks the freedesktop standard as well.
