XDG – creating submenus

Hi,

….after
installing 'libre office' on my computer, the lauchers of the various
applications that are part of libre office, were visible on the
desktop  individually (in a separate and independent way).

I wanted to group all these launchers, on my desktop, inside a
“submenu” (and this accomplishment can also be a general
requirement for displaying  programs grupper by “categories” on
the desktop ).

I used the program “xdg-desktop-menu” to accomplice this purpose;
so I run this command line from the terminal 

			xdg-desktop-menu install
			/usr/share/desktop-directories/-kde-office.directory
			libreoffice-calc.desktop libreoffice-calc.desktop
			ibreoffice-math.desktop libreoffice-draw.desktop
			libreoffice-base.desktop libreoffice-impress.desktop

More
clearly:

			xdg-desktop-menu install    
			                         (option install of the command)
kde-office.directory       
			                   (the <.directory file> that describe the
			icon and the

			libreoffice-calc.desktop                      way to present the
			group of programs.

			libreoffice-math.desktop                   the list all the
			launchers <there .desktop files>

			libreoffice-draw.desktop                   to be groupped)

			libreoffice-base.desktop 

			libreoffice-impress.desktop

the command created this file :

/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-office.menu

			[angelo_dev@localhost
			~]$ cat /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-office.menu
			<!DOCTYPE
			Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
			"http://www.freedesktop.org/">
			<!--
			Do not edit manually - generated and managed by xdg-desktop-menu
			-->
			<Menu>
			<Name>Applications</Name>
			<Menu>
			<Name>kde-office</Name>
			<Directory>kde-office.
			<Include>
			<Filename>libreoffice-calc.
			<Filename>libreoffice-calc.
			<Filename>libreoffice-math.
			<Filename>libreoffice-draw.
			<Filename>libreoffice-base.
			<Filename>libreoffice-impress.
			</Include>
			</Menu>
			</Menu>

I hoped this was
enough for my purpose, but as well this, the submenu <office>
still not appears  on the desktop
Why this ?? 

how it works 
xdg-desktop-menu for creating submenus ???

Regards
thank  you
