	That's a very odd way of doing it. Why not just install the following
in $(sysconfdir)/xdg/menus/applications-merged:

---
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 0.8//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-0.8.dtd">

<Menu>
  <Name>Applications</Name>

  <Menu>
    <Name>GGZ</Name>
    <Directory>ggz.directory</Directory>

    <Include>
      <Category>X-GGZ</Category>
    </Include>

    <Menu>
      <Name>GGZ Games</Name>
      <Directory>ggz-games.directory</Directory>
      <Include>
        <Category>X-GGZ-Games</Category>
      </Include>
    </Menu>
  </Menu>

</Menu>

	There shouldn't be any need to have another level of merging.

Cheers,
Mark.
