Sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult but I've run 'genmenu' but
my WM 'applications' program still does not work. All it does
is show an 'x' in the right corner when I left or center click it,
allowing me to close it.
When I ran 'genmenu' it told me that
"/root/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu already exists"
and asked me whether I should overwrite it.
The first time I did, the second time I didn't. Also,
/root/GNUstep/Defaults# ls
WMRootMenu WMState WindowMaker
which looked 'normal' to vi & my untrained eye.
What else could be happening here ?

After genmenu runs, you cannot edit it manually, it has to be done
through wmakerconf.
BTW, why are you running as root? Not a good idea, too many bad things
can happen, If you run as a "normal' user, the worse that can happen, is
just screwing up one account, your way is to mess the whole system.
If it does not find your program(s), then from the shell type "which
application(s)", and note the path. From within wmakerconf, find the
"folder" you want your application(s) to be stored in, and click add,
then copy/paste your application(s) there. A custom windowmaker menu.
