How to add a menu entry for all users

Thanks,

I tried that already but with no success.

Now I noticed something weird.

During a Gnome session, if I rename or copy the
/usr/share/applications/myapp.desktop file, the menu is updated for
that session.

If I have several users connected at that time (with switch user), the
menu is updated accordingly for every connected users.

But after I disconnect and reconnect the menu is back to the default!

That is really odd!

TIA,
