I'm sorry, I still don't really understand the issue. Can you maybe
provide a screenshot? Also, is the XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable
set?

When you log in your desktop, by default, the current working directory
is $HOME. So your desktop has this as current directory, and therefore
all apps started by your desktop will have this as current directory. So
you shouldn't need it.

(arguably, there will be some edge cases where this is not true, like if
you restart part of your desktop from a terminal and the current
directory is not $HOME there, but that's really edge cases)
