I label the dmenu entries, then I write a oneliner for each
from my config.h (bound to a keyboard shortcut)
exec /home/wyrmskull/scripts/dmenu.sh
from ~/scripts/dmenu.sh
#!/bin/bash
RESULT=$( cat /home/wyrmskull/scripts/.dmenu | dmenu )
case "$RESULT" in
"appwithargs" ) exec app with args and whatever;;
[...]
esac
from ~/scripts/.dmenu
firefox
[...]

In config.arg.h and config.default.h , dmenu is run like this :
exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu` && exec $exe
This doesn't work for commands with arguments, eg "xterm -e top" or "import
-w root root.png" or whatever.
But running dmenu like this works fine (thanks to rob__ on #dwm for that hint
;) :
exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu` && eval "exec $exe"
Does it have any downsides? If not, maybe it could be done in both config.h
examples.
