I should also mention that if you use MATE's "edit menu" function you
will get entries in
~/.config/menus. But, editing the menu will also result in
addition/changes to desktop
files in ~/.local/share/applications to override the system ones.
So, it isn't a change in just one place.
Noted! Thank you!
Maybe I can create my own drop down?
$ cat applications.menu
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">
<!-- File created by desktop-file-utils version 0.8 -->
<Menu>
<Name>Applications</Name>
<MergeFile>/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu</MergeFile>
</Menu>
