[Bug 1213518] [NEW] xfce-applications.menu merges in a non-standard way. default overrides merge

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

the file /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu has the
<DefaultMergeDirs/> at the beginning of the file where it is processed
and the extra files are merged before the rest of the default file are
read. This means that the default layouts etc. will override the merged
file but the freedesktop standard is that the merged in files (in the
user's direcory for example) should override the default file. This
affects any package like alacarte that edits the menu, or a package that
customizes the menu from /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ directory.
This can be corrected by moving the <DefaultMergeDirs/> line to the
second last line just one line bfore the very last </Menu> line.
