[Fluxbox-users] Gnome Menu entries?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I found marchfluxmenu (http://code.google.com/p/marchfluxmenu/) to generate
a menu for fluxbox with my applications, but I do not like the look of the
menu and would lkie to keep the original fluxbox manues as well - Is there a
way of integrating a gnome menu or something similar as a submenu into the
fluxbox menu?

Thanks,

Rainer

Hi Rainer,

I've done exactly that in my nest of scripts for fluxbox:
http://bhepple.freeshell.org/oddmuse/wiki.cgi/fluxbox

You'll find there two menu'ing solutions both of which link off the
user menu rather than replacing the fluxbox menu. Also, with
marchmenu, I re-arranged it into a single script and removed the logic
for watching for changes in the installed applications as I have my
own, more generalised mechanism in 'watch-files'. You'll probably find
the gnome-menu to be more in line with what you see on gnome.

This is all scary homebrew stuff rather than finished, packaged
solutions - it's only tested in my own environments and you may need
to adjust them to suit. But it's all pretty simple python, bash and
perl.

Enjoy!

Bob

Wow - impressive. I'll take a look at it and see what I can use or adapt for
my needs. Concerning th original question: I
found /etc/X11/fluxbox/menudefs.hook (I am on Ubuntu) which is updated and
maintained whenever I install a program - looks like a simple solution which
I wil use at the moment. In Addition, I also included
/etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu into my menu, which has all the fluxbox
related entries, but of which I do not know when (and if) it is updated.
Therefore I'll just keep both and live with the redundancy of many entries
(in submenues).

Cheers and thanks for your help (your wiki looks very useful),

Rainer
