Hello Bernat,

What you are mentionned is the documented behaviour. 
You can remove them with 'update-menus --remove'.

Such desktop managers are not compliant with the menu policy.

Yes, this is expected. This way the original menu layout is preserved.

What you suggest is not compatible with the menu specification. ~/.menu is an
override, not merely a set of menu entries.
