You need an application menu layout.
cp /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu ~/.config/menus/applications.menu
[   ...   ]

But Mr. Tomon, what about the menus built at:
/etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu (shortcut leading to)
/var/lib/menu-xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu, with its almost identical
menu file exists at ~/.config/menus/debian-menu.menu.

Except the line: `<AppDir>/var/lib/menu-xdg/applications</AppDir> `

and the line:
<DirectoryDir>/var/lib/menu-xdg/desktop-directories/menu-xdg</DirectoryDir>
replaced by:
<DirectoryDir>~/.local/share/desktop-directories/menu-xdg</DirectoryDir>

It appears as if some menu building application used the template
directory /var/lib/menu-xdg/desktop-directories/menu-xdg to create the
desktop configuration files at
~/.local/share/desktop-directories/menu-xdg

Then there are:
/etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/lxlauncher-applications.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu

Then there is also another directory by name
/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged with a .menu file
~/.config/menus/debian-menu.menu

Now what about the complete application .desktop files for individual
programs installed that form the sub-menus, sub-sub-menus and so on
under the main Start Menu of lxde, lying at /usr/share/applications/ ?

There is also another set of .desktop files for individual programs at
/home/rajib/.local/share/applications/menu-xdg

I can't blindly follow commands unless I can have the complete
picture, of what lxde does, before me.
