Well, in this case i'd rather keep it, as Debian already gets the code
of both of us. Personally, i can't feed only based on idealism, and i
can't produce code if i am not sufficiently fed. As you can see, there
indeed is an existential limit to altruism. ;)

Oh great, you are already trying to find a proper solution, just the way
i am envisioning it myself! No answers, though, not even on debian-devel.

Maybe some dirty sed tricks at the resulting menu file might be the only
way to work around this? But then again i haven't looked any deeper into
this yet. So much to do, and so little time...

While wmgenmenu works remarkably fine, and indeed does get the submenu
nesting levels perfectly right, it doesn't take into account software
packages it doesn't "know" about. Therefore i still see a need for
wmaker xdg menus in context of Debian.

For example, on wmlive, it doesn't create any entries for the
gnome-terminal, which is both present and used by default. It only
creates an entry for xterm, which in wmlive is not used for anything at
all.

I much prefer some kind of menu generation which takes into account what
software is actually available on the system, instead of choosing
only a subset of available programs based on some limited assumptions.

Maybe there could be found a way to remedy these limitations?

Another problem is that, unfortunately, proplist menus can't include any
other proplist submenus, which is a true pity.

But this is probably a different, and not directly related issue.

We already started working together long time ago. ;)

As you are saying, the best approach is to merge these things together,
in order to avoid duplicate efforts. Nonetheless, i am still working on
the stuff i'd like to present as a first suggestion for a merge, so it
will still take some time for me to present a viable first approach.

Thanks,

Paul
