While a little clunky, my approach uses a script:
============================
daddy:~/.fluxbox# cat fixMenu
#!/bin/bash
# This updates the fluxbox menu, inserting my own common items
# (text file personalStuff) at the beginning of the menu.
# That includes an item to update the menu using this script.
# This must be placed in the path (in this case $HOME/bin)
# for that line item to work. See personalStuff.
cd $HOME/.fluxbox
cp /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu fmenu
# The numbers 8 and 9 are chosen based on the standard format of the
# menu generated in /etc/X11/fluxbox.
# LOOK OUT FOR CHANGES TO THAT FILE!
head -8 fmenu > H
tail --lines=+9 fmenu > T
cat H personalStuff T > menu
rm T H fmenu
daddy:~/.fluxbox# cat personalStuff
