Description (last modified by Antoine Martin)

We filter out the ones that are not to be used in virtualized environments in load_desktop_menus.py, but when we launch a full virtual desktop it will use all the apps found in /usr\[/local\]/applications

We need a way to tell those window managers what .desktop files to use... and more importantly, which ones to ignore.

Create a new $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=~.shifter/server/virtual-desktop-menus for the virtual desktops and set the environment variable before launching them.
see xdg menu spec and environment variables

We must create this local copy on first startup (which means it will go stale... sigh) and patch it to remove the entries we don't want.. (tricky - see #94)
