Custom menu item for starting application

Hello ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com!

I   need   to   create an own menuitem into Gnome/Kde application menu
for logged user only.

When  I  copy myapp.desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications/
then Gnome or KDE show my new item in "Others" or "Lost and Found".
Of  course  I know how to manipulate ~/.config/menus/applications.menu
file  to  get my menu item to the position I want, but I want to avoid
of  manipulation of existing applications.menu file, but rather I want
to add my own myapp.menu file which will be worked out and it moves my
icon to the right submenu (Office).

I've       read       to      copy      myapp.menu      file      into
~/.config/menus/application-merged/ but it doesn't help.

PS:  I  will  create the requested files from installation script file
which is started in context of logged user, because the application is
installed into home directory.

Thanks for all ideas in advance.
