Public bug reported:
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 all of
lubuntu's menu files (LXDE's files are broken as well) and so the default
overrides the merge. The best way to test this is with a layout potion in the
merge file. The <DefaultMergeDirs/> should be the last entry before the last
</Menu> in the files:
/etc/xdg/lubuntu/menus/lubuntu-nexus7-applications.menu
/etc/xdg/lubuntu/menus/lxde-applications.menu
Because of the specialized use of the /etc/xdg/lubuntu/menus/lxgames-
applications.menu, I would suggest removing <DefaultMergeDirs/>
altogether.
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.

Menu config files merge menus from standard locations too soon so
defaults override merges.
