Title:
xdg-desktop-menu creates ~/.gnome/apps/
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Discovered this while working on a DRM-free release of an unannounced
game port to Linux.
Mojosetup calls xdg-desktop-menu to populate the system menu, but this
tool does a splatter-shot approach to getting the desktop entries
installed and creates with `mkdir -p` ~/.gnome/apps/ whether the user
uses that now very old Gnome 2 location or not.
Currently $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/ is used by most|some DEs. I
have no idea how the KDE side of this behaves.
There is a dormant upstream bug report with a patch attached here
