I have googled for UserMenus and gnustep and found that number of
people found that this feature works if they use the path
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/UserMenus

So, unless there is a good reason to put that directory under
the ~/GNUstep/Defaults maybe it would be a good idea to just
fix the documentation and leave the path as it was.

That also gives the answer to the original question in the thread:
yes, we can expect that there are people who learned to use that
feature. :-)

Looking trough the NEWS file...

The feature first appeared in 0.53.0

And later, in version 0.60.0 it says:

-----BEGIN-----
User Menu
---------

The user menu is now a compile time option disabled by default.
Supply --enable-usermenu to configure to enable it.
-----END-----


and...


-----BEGIN-----
Application User Menu Path Changes
----------------------------------

Default configuration for user specific menus installed in
/usr/local/share/WindowMaker/UserMenus or $(datadir)/WindowMaker/UserMenus
and ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/UserMenus.
-----END-----


So actually regarding the path everything was fine in the code, we just
didn't find it in the documentation right away.

I would suggest an addition of a line under the initial announcement
with the note that path has changed to
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/UserMenus in a later versions so that
people don't get confused.

I updated the patch.

Thanks for your comments.
