Hi,
Debian actually has a great menu-handling system, conveniently named
'menu.' With menu your menus are consistent between wm's (windowmaker,
blackbox, sawfish, etc). Try reading the docs in /usr/doc/menu, and
here's something that might help too:
/etc/menu/green_aterm:
?package(local.aterm-green):\
needs=x11\
section=XShells\
title="aterm"\
command="/usr/bin/aterm +sb -tr -tint green -fg white -bg black -fn
fixed"
after creating a file like that, you just have to run 'update-menus'.
The documentation for menu is great though, so you should check it out.
