Customizing Menus

[Ryan Golhar]

Here's an interesting one...

I'm built a bunch of RPMs for applications some of which have GUI
interfaces.  Each application has its own .desktop file for the menu.
They are placed in /usr/share/applications.

I want to create a menu on the Start Menu containing all my applications
based on the .desktop files.  So, I created a menu in put the file in
/etc/X11/desktop-menus.  The file is called umdnj.menu -- it follows the
Vfolder spec.

I placed the appropiate .directory files in
/usr/share/desktop-menu-files for each entry I have in umdnj.menu

The menu never appears no matter what I do.  If I combine my umdnj.menu
with applications.menu, all works well.  I don't want to do this however
because I'll be forced to change applications.menu which belongs to
another RPM.

My whole custom menu structure is contained within its own RPM which I
want to maintain for upgrading, modifying, etc.  

Am I missing something here?  Do I need something to reference my
umdnj.menu file somewhere?
