Bug Description

Menu entries sourced form /usr/share/applications/kde4/ can not be hidden using menulibre. When restarting menulibre, it lists two entries of the modified one (the original and the overwrite in .local) and the menu still shows the entry (but only one).

I've tested it with several entries from /usr/share/applications/kde4, so I guess its reproducible with every application storing its .desktop file in this directory.

To fix this, menulibre should reproduce subdirectories (if existent) to allow merging of desktop files.

For this case all kde .desktop files are stored in <system_app_dir>/kde4/ and should be mapped to <user_app_dir>/kde4/ or more specific: /usr/share/applications/kde4/ -> ~/.local/share/applications/kde4/

Still an issue with menulibre 2.0.6 and vivid.

The attached patch should map the original subdirectory structure to the user directory.
