If it's of any interest I've been looking for alternatives and there
is actually a Python script out there for extracting menus from
'standard' XDG information into FVWM menus, take a look at:-
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pz215/automenus.html
The Python script itself is:-
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pz215/fvwm-scripts/scripts/fvwm-xdg-menu.py
Just running it with the little wrapper that Piotr Zeilinski provides
produces a pretty good shot at a set of menus for FVWM. Since I much
prefer Python to Perl anyway I may spend a little more time with this.
