I'm hoping some people on the list can help save me some time. There's
currently a bug #2172 about how XFCE needs to have the
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS variable set to /etc/xdg to see the menus even though
that's the default location.
When I started to investigate why this would happen, I realized that

I am willing to contribute whatever information you need from my
GNOME and KDE installation. As I mentioned before, when running
KDE I don't set *any* XDG stuff (and KDE

So, the test is this. If you have KDE in /opt/kde without
/opt/kde/share in XDG_DATA_DIRS, do you still see the applications in
the GNOME menus? You can also go the other direction if you have GNOME
in /opt/gnome and start a KDE session.

One other thought: I experienced issues when both desktops were
sharing XDG vars *and* I ran update-desktop-database. There

So, I'd try these settings and see what happens.

export
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/gnome/share:/opt/kde/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share

Okay, here's the first round of results, and surprisingly, the only
real issue I see is that the GNOME desktop displays the KDE .desktop
files so you end up with a bunch of KDE (for me just about 7 icons)
clutter on the GNOME desktop.

I wonder now what would happen if I removed all XDG vars? Would GNOME
behave normally? I'll test if you think it could be of any value.
The menu's will probably be empty.
