Is there any way to use update-menus to populate menu entries outside of 
the normal Debian apps/hierarchy?  The whole point of this is to get a 
"Frequently Used Short List" in a highly conspcious place.

I've got a working solution by just sed'ing fluxbox's Debian-generated 
menu to insert some commands at the top and using that, but I have to 
make sure I manually keep them in sync.
