Hi Vester
Almost there :) You want the following at an appropriate point in your
~/.blackbox/Menu (or whatever your ~/.blackboxrc calls it).
[include] (/etc/X11/blackbox/blackbox-menu)
My home set up is the same as yours, and it's handy to have the fixed
entries I put in as well as the variable ones from frequent apt-get
installs ;-) Mandrake rpms also update the system wide blackbox menu, so
this works on my work box too.
An [include] link will pull in any other menu you set up - I have a
number of them to save the main one getting too crowded - it's a very
useful feature.
Regards, Martin
