Problem creating custom menus

["R.Juncos" <juncos_rau gva es>]

We're trying to generate a custom menu for a Debian/GNOME-based local 
distro, and are having a big problem when trying to get it shown 
correctly in nautilus/gnome-panel.

We have followed the four steps described in this mail:

So, if I was looking to set this up I'd do something along the lines
of:

	1) Create a /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory.local
	2) Add that to /etc/gconf/2/path
	3) Copy /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries and
	   modify it to taste.
	4) Install it into the mandatory database using a command
	   along the lines of:

gconftool-2 --direct 
--config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory.local 
--load my-default-panel-setup.entries

and we have created a new menu_object with a subset of the applications 
shown in the stock GNOME menu. To do this, we've created a 
lliurex-applications:/// vfolder, defined in 
/var/lib/lliurex/applications/, directory which contains symbolic links 
to the real .desktop files in /usr/share/applications we want to use.

If we type lliurex-applications:/// in the nautilus location bar, the 
menu appears as expected. The problem is when we try to get it shown in 
the panel object.

In /etc/gconf/schemas/lliurex-panel-default.entries we have the following:

  <!-- Lliurex Bar -->

This configuration has two visible items that are not working. The key 
custom_icon appears to be completely ignored, and we don't get the 
gnome-mouse.png icon in our panel object. More importantly, the 
menu_path key is also ignored, and instead of getting 
lliurex-applications:/// shown inside the menu_object. Instead, we get 
the default menu_object icon, and the default menu contents.

Why is this happening? Any help appreciated...

Thanks,
Raül.
