Works like a charm. Thank you.

You are totally right. Please let me explain my setup and plan:
I have .desktop files like this one (rxvt.desktop):
$ cat rxvt.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=RXVT
Comment=Terminal Client f�r X-Window
Exec=rxvt -fn 10x20 -name Terminal +sb
Icon=terminal_48x48.xpm
MiniIcon=terminal.xpm
Categories=Terminal;System;
This is not to 100% the definition from freedesktop.org, but should not
be far from it.
A (shell)script parses these files and generate the menu. For the
example above, this would be like this:
defmenu("Menu_Terminal", {
...
menuentry("RXVT - Terminal Client f�r X-Window", make_exec_fn('rxvt -fn
10x20 -name Terminal +sb')),
...
})
defmenu("Menu_System", {
...
menuentry("RXVT - Terminal Client f�r X-Window", make_exec_fn('rxvt -fn
10x20 -name Terminal +sb')),
...
})
mainmenu
|
+Terminal
| +
| ---RXVT
|
+System
+
---RXVT
So i can edit, delete, create the .desktop file and update the menu
easily in one or two steps.
My next step is to rewrite the script as a lua-function. I am totally
new to lua, so this could take some time ;-).
After that...a query-function?

I will have a look at that!
Again, thank you very much.

P.S.: I use .desktop files, but do not like the idea of a "Desktop".
Ion2 is IMHO mu
ch more effectice than all these "Desktop"-Managers.
