UP> DESCRIPTION This is a perl script which parses GNOME or KDE menus
 UP> defin- itions to build corresponding FVWM or FvwmGtk menus. The
 UP> script can also build icon and mini-icon style commands for the
 UP> applications.  There is no gnome or kde on my box ;-)

  At first - sorry for very very very bad english :(

  I use Debian GNU/Linux at home, and I have such menu out of the box
  for fvwm too, not for KDE/Gnome only.

  Now I'm at work (and I have there a RedHat clone), so I can't see
  how this feature implemented in Debian.  But I think, if some
  package add itself to KDE menu, this package is not looking for KDE
  installation, and add itself anyway.  Maybe I'm wrong, but you can
  try. 

  In /usr/lib/menu I have an some files like next:

$ cat /usr/lib/menu/vim-X11 
?package(vim-X11):command="/usr/X11R6/bin/gvim" needs="X11" \
icon="gvim.xpm" section="Applications/Editors" \
title="GVim editor" longtitle="All-purpose text editor
  
  I have no KDE/Gnome installed.  So, my suggestion seems right.

 UP> I am looking for a solution which scans _all_ search paths, say
 UP> at start time, looks for certain applications, defined in a
 UP> database, and sorts them to a set of fvwm menu definitions. If
 UP> such a database is available the script would be quite simple.

  Hmmm...  I think, creation of such database is extremly hard task.

  More simply way - parse /usr/lib/menu/* files, or list of installed
  packages.

  Anyway, I don't know any ready solutions of your problem.
