Yes, that's my $main_prefix.

Allright, but I think it has nothing do to with the missing menu entries.

Where does GNOME store the menu? Somewhere in /opt/gnome/share? I did 
not find it.

The same on my computer.

GARNOME=/opt/gnome
export GARNOME
XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GARNOME/share
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$GARNOME/etc/xdg
export XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
$GARNOME/bin/update-desktop-database [takes about 7 seconds]
$GARNOME/bin/update-mime-database $GARNOME/share/mime

>Why do you think it does not work?

Because there are still no menu entries like I know from a precompiled 
GNOME version on Debian or SuSE.

Yes, I did this several times.

Any more ideas?
