Add new commandline option - xdg-menu-prefix

Please consider adding new command line option '--xdg-menu-prefix=...' to allow set custom XDG_MENU_PREFIX for GNOME sessions.

This would make easier life for unofficial GNOME Flashback session. This is bug that I would like to fix - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722056.

My idea is to add older gnome-applications.menu file as gnome-flashback-applications.menu file to gnome-panel package to restore old menu look, but that requires a way to change XDG_MENU_PREFIX.

I am closing this bug as invalid.

Same thing can be achieved creating application that starts in Initialization phase. Then using Setenv I can set XDG_MENU_PREFIX to any value I want:

This can be done in other way.
