	Or rather:

<!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>Games</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>

</Menu>
