I'd like to automate the contents of my menu a la KDE or Gnome. I thought I had read some way of doing this a while back, but now that I'm actually trying to do it, I'm having trouble getting it to work
As far as I can tell, to get the KDE and/or Gnome menus, I use the fvwm-menu-desktop script which will output the menu definitions dynamically, which I then put into a menu definition with PipeRead. However, the examples all talk about KDE2 as though it was new, and we're on KDE4 now. I gave it a go anyway, but when I run the command, I get: j...@aus10224 ~ $ fvwm-menu-desktop DestroyMenu "gnome-sys" AddToMenu "gnome-sys" "Gnome System Menu" Title j...@aus10224 ~ $ fvwm-menu-desktop --desktop kde-sys DestroyMenu "kde-sys" AddToMenu "kde-sys" "Kde System Menu" Title j...@aus10224 ~ $ My (un)educated guess is that the script is working, but it's not finding menu definitions either where it's expecting, or in the format it's expecting. FWIW, I use Gentoo Linux, and have KDE4 and Gnome installed as per Gentoo's defaults. So KDE4 gets installed in /usr, and I believe Gnome does the same. So my question is: how do I get KDE / Gnome menus to come up in FVWM? Is it still possible? Am I going about it the wrong way? Any assistance or pointers to RTFM would be welcome. Thanks. John Moe
