Public bug reported:
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 /etc/xdg/menus/lxlauncher-applications.menu 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>.
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.
