That's NEAT! It worked almost perfectly for me out of the box. I tweaked
it a little to accept SVG files, and some other minor fixes. I've
attached them.
Now doing
fvwm-xdg-menu.py -f -s22 -i ~/.fvwm/icons/xdg -m "KDE menu" \
/usr/kde/3.5/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu > xdg_menus_22x22.fvwm
Generates a perfect menu!! Thanks for the tip,
GI
