ENVIRONMENT

	    this environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.config

     XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

	    search for configuration data.  If this environment variable is  not
	    present, it defaults to /etc/xdg

FILES
     xfdesktop	 searches   for   a   menu   description   file   in   $XDG_CON-
     FIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu.  xfdesktop can also use a  user-cus-
     tomized menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/.
