And on Gentoo, do you have any XDG menuing software installed? (However
Gentoo defines that?)
The current code will look for both KDE and GNOME definitions, so the option
is meaningless to you. That said, if fvwm-menu-desktop is producing no
output without supplied options then:
* You have no XDG menuing software installed;
* The code assumes a path (as defined in the XDG spec) and Gentoo puts it
someplace else.
Is there really nothing on STDERR when you run this? Were get_root_menu()
to fail to find a menu, I would expect to see something. Especially since
that's even without the verbose flag set -- something you could also try
doing.
