Missing menus

Sat Feb 18 17:58:44 GMT 2017

Really. With AppImage 5.5.0 pre release too ? Impossible... The account
store digiKam GUI menu structure into the hidden subfolder, as .rc file. If
there is no one, the default one from application is used, else both are
merged... And here, the default one work as expected...

I suspect that a merge between default and local rc file generate a
corrupted XML file (yes GUI menu is managed with XML in background)...
