Break it up into 2 distinct files and put each of them
in /usr/lib/menu. Make sure that the permissions are
good. Also, for StarOffice, you may need to use the full
pathname instead of the tilde (I'm not sure about that one).
update-menus should then work. As for the sed error, I
always get that as well, but my menus seem to be just fine
anyway.
