Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity-place-applications

For instance, in UNE, we are setting it to:
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-une:/etc/xdg

and have in menus/ subfolder the attached file applications.menu and settings.menu too hide some tools like "search for files" and "brasero" which doesn't make sense on a netbook.
The applications place seems to not take it into account.

I am thinking that this can probably be solved be adding some appropriate stanzas to the menu file data/unity-place-applications.menu I am installing in /usr/share/unity/menus... How do you do this elsewhere?

I just think we should achieve it the same way as gnome-menu does :)
Not sure if we can add environment variables to .menu files (think that some user wants to override that too)

My thought was that libgnome-menu already toXDG_CONFIG_DIRS into account, and I just needed to add some XML declaration to the .menu file in order for libgnome-menu to scan the default dirs (which I think I already am).

Looking at the UNE .menu file it seems to me that it would be quite tricky to create the Unity .menu file via simple Merge directives based on the standard Gnome one. It rather redefines some of the groupings making this quite tricky. So instead I tried porting the UNE .menu override by hardwiring it into unity-place-applications.menu

I'm raising the priority right now because we are close to beta and people still doesn't use what they will use in UNE because of this bug (evolution express for instance). We have to get that working ASAP to get beta user testing what we will ship in UNE.
