duplicate menu entries in gnome

I'm trying to use xdg-desktop-menu to add menu items to a directory under one of the top level menus.
I ran the command:
xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor --mode system /usr/share/desktop-directories/Games.directory bar.directory bar.desktop
On this system, some third party software package created /usr/share/gnome/apps, so xdg-desktop-menu put a bar.desktop file there, with "OnlyShowIn=Old;" Gnome seems to ignore this, and thus we get a second menu entry. (see screenshot: http://linux.ucla.edu/~leiz/freedesktop/duplicate_menu.png)
My proposed solution is to ignore /usr/share/gnome/apps if we detect a version of Gnome that knows about .desktop files in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/. I'm guessing Gnome 2.8 and up, but I could be wrong.
