If I understand your example correctly, at no point did you use any of the
xdg-utils (either xdg-icon-resource for the icons, or xdg-desktop-menu for the
menus), nor the $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS or $XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variables? From
what I gather from your example and from the documentation, the answer to
"Does xdg-desktop-menu allow the creation of a submenu in a submenu?" is "No
it doesn't". You just copy your files to /usr/share and to /etc/xdg and pray
for the best, or am I missing something?
