Re: update-menus, does it work? UPDATE
I don't know if this will help, but I encountered problems myself with
update-menus, being unable to add menu entries for certain packages. However
I was able to manage a workaround by prefixing the package name with a
"local." For example:
?package(local.Eterm):\
needs=X11\
section=Personal\
title="Eterm"\
command="/usr/bin/Eterm --theme custom --name Eterm"
It may not be pretty or proper but it seems to work. Putting this is either
~/.menu/ or /etc/menu and running update-menus as a user or root causes the
menu item to appear properly. Hope this helps.

staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here."
