If you have a menu.xml in /etc/... then it uses that and takes menudefs.hook from the same directory. If you have a menu.xml in .config/... then it uses that and takes menudefs.hook from that directory. Therefore if you don't copy menu.xml then running update-menus as a user has absolutely no effect as it updates the local menudefs.hook but there is no menu.xml that uses it there. If you want to make changes to the menu.xml before it gets processed then you should use the system.menu.xml Simon -- ... After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn.
