How are the lines added? My previous example, only minorly exagerrated,
was based on IceWM. ;)

By IceWM or through the use of other applications?
See, Thomas pointed to a web page where a WM's text file configuration was
defended because it was too complex to represent graphically. Yet in the
above we have 5 items.
1: type of menu item (program or folder)
2: The name to attribute to that item
3: The icon to associate with the item
4: The application/program to run
5: The command lines to pass on
Oddly enough XFCE and KDE can manage a graphic representation of those 5
items. So, uh, where's the problem? Why does it NEED to be in text?
