When I have edited the Gnome menu with alacarte as root, I do
#!/bin/sh mkdir -p /etc/my-gnome-menus rm -rf /etc/my-gnome-menus/* cp -r /root/.config/menus /etc/my-gnome-menus/ cp -r /root/.local/share/applications /etc/my-gnome-menus/share/ cp -r /root/.local/share/desktop-directories /etc/my-gnome-menus/share/ and add this to /etc/environment
XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/etc/my-gnome-menus" XDG_DATA_HOME="/etc/my-gnome-menus/share" but I don't see the changes I have made system wide.
Do I need to do something else?

rm -r /root/.local/share rm -r /root/.config/menus mkdir -p /etc/my-gnome-menus echo 'XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/etc/my-gnome-menus"' >> /etc/environment echo 'XDG_DATA_HOME="/etc/my-gnome-menus/share"' >> /etc/environment Now use alacarte to edit the menus.
