Thanks Jason. That script produces some nice menus, it does something I've wanted to do for a while, put the right mini-icon into the menu for each application. It also builds a more complete menu. I haven't looked yet to find out why. The big thing is that it's a tiny fraction of the size of the code we have now. It's using some python xdg functions that I was not are of. We should definitely work this into Fvwm. -- Dan Espen
