Not all .desktop files are being put in the "main menu"
Default awesome config doesn't parse .desktop files at all. Some deb based distributions modified it to use awesome-freedesktop but it's surely not an only way to get the application menu (there are stand alone apps like rofi). So first of all you should mention which way to create the menu are you using.
- best menu for awesome ?
- jgmenu in awesomewm
