The first hard-coded path (/usr/share/applications) is only applicable 
if the user running menu-editor is root. Otherwise ~/.local/menus is 
used. Look at lines 363 and following in menu-editor.
/usr/share/pixmaps is only used to set the initial path for the dialog when choosing an icon for a menu item.
