time I carefully studied the document "Desktop Menu Specification"
and following the suggestions provided in the previously mentioned
link I rewrote (after saving the original) the file
"/etc/xdg/menus/application.menu" (it is in XML format).*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "
http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">
<Menu>
<Name>Applications</Name>
<Directory>X-GNOME-Menu-Applications.directory</Directory>
But when the computer is booted the menu on the screen was always the
original "menu system" created at the installation of the Operating
System.
*What is wrong, based on my current knowledge?*
Are you perhaps using Wayland as your server instead of X? I am not
familiar with Gnome menus, so this is just a guess. Because the menu
file you edited seems to be for X.
