Hello Sean, As written in the menu manual, menu entries that are specific to a window manager are outside the scope of the menu policy. You need to use a custom need field. See section 3.4. The `needs' field in the menu manual Usually such entries should go to a new top-level section named after the window manager, like /Fluxbox. (not closing this bug since it has been borrowed by another request).
