found and fixed, you'll see it in the next commit.
The problem occurred only with --cdd/-d, and it was a bad variable name
passed to callee.

probably you tried it as user or with --user.

If in Xsession.d, it would update menus before X session started :)

I do not know if it's the correct/normal way. For this reason I decided
to posticipate the inclusion of update-menus in cdd-update-menus and
think/gather infos about it.
If you run it in a postinst, you shoud run update-menus in a
/bin/su session, I dislike it.
User account is sacred ;), and I'd like to touch its home and its
account less then possible.
If I find a good/reasonable way to update users menu without
creating ~/.menu/cdd-user, I'd follow this way, for example.
