Hi Mr.Magne,
You could possibly follow the instructions at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg-menu#Awesome. I don't know what
distro you are on, and what other packages you have installed, so you
might have to adapt your steps accordingly.
To generate the menu, run:
xdg_menu --format awesome --root-menu
/etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu >.config/awesome/lxdemenu.lua
To make it work for Awesome 3.5, you must replace:
require("menu")
with
local xdg_menu = require("lxdemenu")
Keep in mind that the awesome-freedesktop software would refresh the
menus each time you login. With the xdg_menu method, you'll have to
refresh it manually whenever you add or remove software.

Hello awesomers,
Is there a way to get a "classical" menu out of menubar (like the one
we could have with freedesktop). The menubar seems quite powerful, but
on a shared computer I would also like to have a simpler menu so that
everyone can start its favorite app simply.

Hello Andreas,
There's currently no way to scroll the entries in the menu since I
don't know if awful.common.list supports it. For now you can
filter large menus by typing a few symbols from the desired
application's name.
Kind regards.

I like the new Mod4+"p" menu and removed the former
freedesktop menu
add-on.
I have difficulties to access large menus with many entries
that don't
fit into screen. Since the menu doesn't scroll how to get a
certain
menu entry start that is outside the right border?
