so, i think that the point would be knowing if that
/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users/ directory is misworking
(that is, a gnome menu system bug), or that we don't get the point on how it
works... i'm too lazy to take a look on the source :)
any gnome menu hacker around to throw some light on this thread?
moreover, i think the solution you post in this mail might work in a
short-term, but it's not the right way to do it (well, i think we all agree on
this)
in fact, i posted this same problem on this same list one or two months ago,
and the response i got was that the non-intrusive system-wide "tunning" of
the gnome menu system was still WIP
