Why make the meny that big in the first place?
I like to have submenus so that I don't have any big ones.
I have a menu with all the xlock modes on it (for no particularly good
reason, other than that the idea stuck me once). I ended up writing a
perl script to parse the xlock mode list output and generate a set of
"more"'d submenus with 25 modes on each. It comes out to 5 of 'em,
each of which is a bit less than half the height of my screen.
(Actually, it doesn't generate ctwm menus as output, it generates perl
definitions of ctwm menus, since I build them with a perl script on
the fly, but who wants to get THAT nutty? ;)
So how does this work really, as it do sound a bit interesting for me.
Have myself been thinking of making menus of all those *.desktop that are
used by many desktop environments for their menu entries, didn't think of
making this on fly, as I guess that can be pritty slow to use the menus,
but generate statick menu files. Maybe someone has already made a such
script that makes menus of the *.desktop files.
