I got a great proggie offa Freshmeat.net - called genmenu - it generates menu stuctures for Enlightenment, Fluxbox (and others) - and as well, with Fluxbox there is a proggie called Fluxconf that does the innards for ya. Using them in conjunction with each other definitely makes for wonderful usage overall. I don't always like hacking through configuration files when I have too much work to do elsewhere, and that was my resolution to the issue. Beautiful work for Enlightenment as well - skads kul!
