@Jeremy: thank you for this quick answer!

It's not a problem for Cairo-Dock because if this file is not found
[$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu] the dock
will check first with some prefix (gnome-, kde-, etc.) and then check if
there is a file which ends with applications.menu.
It's just to avoid useless warnings ;)
But I don't know how other programs work. If they decide to only respect
specifications, no menu will be found on a Gnome session.

Title:
applications.menu file has been renamed to gnome-applications.menu but
XDG_MENU_PREFIX is not set

Bug description:
Hello,
Firstly, thank you for maintaining all these gnome packages!
The latest version of gnome-menus has renamed applications.menu file:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/gnome-
menus/saucy/revision/136/debian/gnome-menus.maintscript
gnome-menus.maintscript:
- Clean up after rename from /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu
to /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu
But this environment variable is not set: XDG_MENU_PREFIX:
$ test -z "$XDG_MENU_PREFIX" && echo null || echo $XDG_MENU_PREFIX
null
$ echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
GNOME
$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
cairo-dock
Here is the standards: https://developer.gnome.org/menu-spec/ =>
"Desktop Menu Specification"
______
Here are the files defined by this specification:
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu
This file contains the XML definition of the main application menu
layout. The first file found in the search path should be used; other
files are ignored. This implies that if the user has their own
${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu, it replaces the system wide one.
(Though the user's menu may explicitly merge the system wide one.)
Systems that offer multiple desktop environments and that want to
use distinct menu layouts in the different environments can use
differently prefixed .menu files. In this case the $XDG_MENU_PREFIX
environment variable must be set by the system to reflect the .menu
file that is being used.
For example if a system contains both the GNOME and the KDE
desktop environments it can decide to use gnome-applications.menu as
the menu layout in GNOME sessions and kde-applications.menu as the
menu layout in KDE sessions. To correctly reflect this, it should set
the $XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable to "gnome-" respectively
"kde-".
Implementations may chose to use .menu files with other names for tasks
or menus other than the main application menu. Such usage is not covered by
this specification.

According to this document, the $XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable
should contain "gnome-"
