The menu items are installed using

    # FIXME: How to create a nice LilyPond submenu?
    installDesktop "Applications/Music/Notation/LilyPond" 
share/lilypond/@VERSION@/misc/lilypond.desktop
    installDesktop "Applications/Music/Notation/LilyPond" 
share/lilypond/@VERSION@/misc/examples.desktop
    installDesktop "Applications/Music/Notation/LilyPond" 
share/lilypond/@VERSION@/misc/website.desktop
    installDesktop "Applications/Music/Notation/LilyPond" 
share/lilypond/@VERSION@/misc/tutorial.desktop
    installDesktop "Applications/Music/Notation/LilyPond" 
share/lilypond/@VERSION@/misc/mutopia.desktop

What happens if you edit the menu item, and prepend file:// to the
URL, something like:

    -URL=/home/janneke/.local/share/doc/lilypond/input
    +URL=file:///home/janneke/.local/share/doc/lilypond/input

Is the Emacs editor installed?  What happens if you add

    export LYEDITOR=gedit

to your ~/.bash_profile, and do a fresh login to gnome again?

Thanks,
Jan.
