Status in gnome-menus: Unknown Status in “gnome-menus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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/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.
