Hi,

How do you deal with your desktop environment menu customization please?
Manually? Or via some softwares like MenuLibre or Alacarte?
Do you have specific advice except reading 
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/index.html?

I would like to rearrange my Debian 10 Xfce "Applications" menu but it doesn't 
seem to be so easy...
* MenuLibre: the interface is nice & the intention is laudable but I don't 
always succeed in moving applications from one category to another (category 
tags come back frequently after my modifications as some config files take 
precedence) + I lost my Wine submenu...
* Alacarte: it made my whole menu disappearing: my 
~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu has been emptied after I moved an 
application some positions down. I've copied 
/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu in ~/.config/menus and now all my 
categories are duplicated (removing ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu 
totally doesn't help) ...
In short, more I dig with those tools, worse it becomes.
That's why I'm  wondering if this would not be easier to do the modifications 
manually...

Thank you in advance :)
Best regards,
