Well, it doesn't say fvwm, but it appears that xfce/xfwm syntax is compatible with fvwm. Oh well. I wanted to convert my old menu anyway, and it was a good exercise.

I think menumaker actually supports fvwm.  Here's the command line help

MenuMaker 0.17 - 100% Python menu generator for X window managers

http://menumaker.sourceforge.net
(c) 2002-2004 Oleg A. Khlybov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Usage:
  mmaker [-hvcrA] [-o out_file] window_manager {window_manager ...}

  -h prints this usage information
  -v turns on verbosity
  -c enables cache usage (quick regeneration without rescanning)
  -r omits directory parts from executables where possible
  -o specifies file to write menu to instead of WM specific place in
user's home
  -A enables Active Menus feature (EXPERIMENTAL)

window_manager is WM to generate menu for

WMs supported (case insensitive): Deskmenu, FluxBox, IceWM, OpenBox,
OpenBox3, (WindowMaker | WMaker), (XFce | XFwm), (XFce4 | XFdesktop4)

There is a really nice utility called MenuMaker. It's a Python based menu
generator that searches your system for programs that it recognizes, and
builds them into a menu. It supports several window managers, but
unfortunately not fvwm. It does support icewm, which is what I used to
use before fvwm.


Since I'm somewhat familiar with icewm, its menus have a pretty simple
syntax, and I wanted to convert my old icewm menu anyway, I wrote a Perl
script to convert icewm menus to fvwm menus. It works for me, but YMMV.
I'm not much of a coder, and I haven't tested it very well. If you try my
script, please let me know how it works. To see how to use it, run
'icewm2fvwm_menu -h'.
