Re: fvwm2 menus burned
If I remember correctly the /etc/menus dir is for pkgs you want skipped
when update-menus is run. Maybe skipped is incorrect. It's not updated
by the program but the super-user. Meaning that nothing added by dpkg
will be added to the menus in this dir. Making the menu system
non-operational if you put all your menus in this dir.
In the instance of the Afterstep window manager there is a
system.steprc-menu file (/etc/X11/afterstep/) that can be modified since
update-menus uses it as a skelliton when it creates the system.steprc file
with the new pkgs added to the menus automatically. Once you move the
Debian menuitem to the appropriate place and make it a sub-menu instead of
the main menu.
/etc/menus is for menus you don't want automatically updated with new
packages. You have to add them by hand if they are in this dir. I
imagine that all the menus have a skelliton file like Afterstep's so the
updates are done automatically as the program was created to do.
