Mandrake menus are managed in the 'Debian way' Each RPM package will drop a menu information file in /usr/lib/menu/package_name . You can edit these files to alter the menu entry for an application or you can add your own files for custom menu entries After each package is installed update-menus is run to process these files and put menu entries in the menu of each window manager. The syntax of the menu entries is customised for each WM by a file /etc/menu-methods/wm_name So if you delete /etc/menu-methods/icewm the icewm menus will no longer be updated and you will have to edit them by hand every time you install a package. (bad news) A little study will allow you to understand the structure of these files to allow your menus to look however you want them to.
