One of the benefits of the menu system is that users can add items to
'their' X menus to ~/.menu.  As they are not read, when root runs update-menus,
how to _you_ get them to load?  I personally run update-menus whenever I
add a menu not supplied by the author/maintainer and have not had any major
problems with it.

>From the man page:

~/.menu/*
    Menu files added by the user. (Isn't read if root runs update-menus)
