Hi.

I am not sure if this should be considered a bug or if it is me that is misunderstanding how to use gnome-menu but here goes...

For the example, I want to remove gnome-search-tool from the main menu.
For that, I added the following file:
/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/no-gnome-search-tool.menu
which contains:

<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">

<Menu>
  <Name>Applications</Name>
  <Menu>
    <Name>Accessories</Name>
    <Exclude>
      <Filename>gnome-search-tool.desktop</Filename>
    </Exclude>
  </Menu> 
</Menu>

But gnome-search-tool still appears in the menu. Only with the following patch, it is indeed removed from the menu:

Am I doing something wrong that I this patch or?
Thanks.
