Comment 6 for bug 1362452

Alright. On a fresh install there appears to that only ~/.config/menus/applications-merged, ~/.local/share/applications/ and ~/home/managor/.local/share/desktop-directories/ exists. The symlink gnome-applications-merged and xfce-applications.menu don't even appear until you start editing the menu. If your problem is with wine programs, there exists only one file per program in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/.

Autumna wrote pretty much the same as I did.
