Examples of how the Debian menu is configured and used is provided as
part of the Fvwm package, under /usr/share/doc/fvwm/examples/.
It is composed of three parts:
1. A function definition
DestroyFunc SetDebianMenu
AddToFunc SetDebianMenu
+ I Read /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook
Which when called will read from the menudefs.hook under
/etc/X11/fvwm/. This menudefs.hook defines the structure of the Debian
menu, but is not yet linked to your personal menu. The name of the
Debian menu is "/Debian".
2. Calling the function
Test (f /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook) SetDebianMenu
Which will first test if the menu exists, then calls the function
defined in step 1. This line can be put anywhere you like, as long as
it's after the function definition.
3. Add the Debian menu to your menu
Test (f /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook) + "Debian Menu" Popup "/Debian"
Insert this as part of your menu definitions, under 'AddToMenu ...'.
This instructs Fvwm to insert an entry to popup the menu "/Debian".
Hope it helps,
