Title:
  Menu config file merges menus from standard locations too soon so
  defaults override merges.

Status in gnome-menus:
  New
Status in “gnome-menus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
