I forward this message. Initially Matt asked me privatelly about supporting parsing of the vfolders XML Categories description.
Regards, Mikhael.
--- Begin Message ---> What is "vfolders XML Category description"? On the current redhat distribution (and I've no idea which others, but I guess anything keeping with the everchanging gnome2 landscape), the .desktop files include an extra piece of meta-information. For example, my gnu-emacs.desktop contains the line: Categories=TextEditor;Development;X-Red-Hat-Base;Application; Then, .menu files a menu structure is defined, with each submenu defined by a set of categories which can be ANDed and NOTted together, in the style of Apache XML configuration. > > My rh9 distribution has all the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications.. > . > > So you should use: > > fvwm-menu-desktop --dir /usr/share/applications /usr/share/applications has no subdirectories, so I end up with a flat menu list that is about twice the height of my desktop, and doesn't split into multiple columns. All the best, Matt
