But please do not loose the general wmiimenu functionality. i am using wmiimenu heavily for own actions, for example to display a "yes no" menu when pressing "MOD-q", and depending of the selection, that means depending on stdout of wmiimenu, the quit action is performed or not.
Personally i like the wmiimenu style, cause you can use it for quite anything. Maybe the program selection by /menu/ctl can be an additional feature of wmii, besides wmiimenu?
