Yes , I did read the spec and check these env path. I do not got them , so it's default to ~/.config and /usr/share

But Yesterday I am really puzzled by why some submenu is not shown in gnome-panel and some did. I could not find any difference in them with ther menu item.

OK , I check it again. I understand now, if all the desktop entries belong to this menu have the key nodisplay=TRUE , the menu itself will not be displayed as well.

Thanks
