Hi,
Fvwm-menu-directory stopped working for me a while back. I'm using FC10 right now and the script doesn't generate anything useful. I still prefer to build my own menus for the things I invoke a lot but having access to the desktop menus is nice for finding things I don't use often. Looking around, it looks like the state of KDE/Gnome menus has advanced significantly. They follow a specification called XDG. As part of ArchLinux I found a package called arch-xdg-menu that generates menus for a whole bunch of window managers including Fvwm2. It's a bit clumsy, it's not easy to find: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=10535 And when I unpack it it creates a few files and sub-directories. The only file I find useful is xdg-menu which I use like this: PipeRead 'xdg_menu --format fvwm2 2>/dev/null' AddToMenu Utilities "&X. XDG Menu" Popup xdg_menu The xdg-menu script is Perl and requires the Perl XML parser. Any thoughts on better menu builders, what we should do with fvwm-menu-directory or xdg-menu?
