After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 I've noticed that my menu entries from /usr/local/share/applications are gone. I did a bunch of research and found that startxfce4 does: if test "x$XDG_DATA_DIRS" = "x" then XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/usr/share" else XDG_DATA_DIRS="$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share" fi export XDG_DATA_DIRS The else doesn't seem to append /usr/local/share to XDG_DATA_DIRS. Is this correct? I apologize if this is not the place for this sort of question, but I didn't want to file a bug if my research was incorrect. Also, no one seems to know anything about it on IRC. Could anyone clarify? -raevol
