That works reasonably well.  I created a file /etc/menu/frequent with 
entries like this:

?package(bash):needs="x11" section="_Frequently Used" \
 title="Command1" command="<command1>"
?package(bash):needs="x11" section="_Frequently Used" \
 title="Command2" command="<command2>"

The "_Frequently Used" section is nonstandard, but it works.  You have 
to prefix it with underscore so it sorts before Apps.

Now my custom list is always kept in sync with the debian menu and it 
works the same in all WMs.  Total victory! (except for the gruesome 
underscore hack).

Thanks all!
