(see ..http: //www.eng.fsu.edu/~dommelen/s6520/menus.html http://www.eng.fsu.edu/%7Edommelen/s6520/menus.html); however this time I carefully studied the document "Desktop Menu Specification" and following the suggestions provided in the previously mentioned link I rewrote (after saving the original) the file "/etc/xdg/menus/application.menu" (it is in XML format).*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Menu>
<Name>Applications</Name>
<Directory>X-GNOME-Menu-Applications.directory</Directory> But when the computer is booted the menu on the screen was always the original "menu system" created at the installation of the Operating System.
*What is wrong, based on my current knowledge?*
Are you perhaps using Wayland as your server instead of X? I am not familiar with Gnome menus, so this is just a guess. Because the menu file you edited seems to be for X.
