nope you are 100% correct. They are using something either based on Debian's
menu system or created to match it.
in /etc/menu-methods is one script per wm. This script is given items for a
menu and it outputs the right menu. So if you had a wm which had a xml menu it
would get:
"exec" "Mozilla" "/usr/bin/mozilla" # made up for discussion, but close enough
and output:
<item>
<title>Mozilla</title>
<exec>/usr/bin/mozilla</exec>
</item>
whereas the blackbox script outputs:
[exec] (Mozilla) {/usr/bin/mozilla}
