I have been looking around and found that each desktop installs its
own menu file in there, but there's no "generic/ballback"
applications.menu file that WMs like fvwm can use. So, can you give me
an overview on how *your* distro of choice handles this? Is there a
generic "xdg-menu" package or is the file generated using some script
of those available on the net?

Even if you parse all the file in /etc/xdg/menus/ that doesn't solve
the problem in Gentoo from the root, because you need kde, lxde, gnome
or whatever else installed to get an xdg menu file. So, as I see it,
there are two posibilities if we want xdg menu support in fvwm: either
ship an fvwm-applications.menu file or fix it in the Gentoo side by
adding the file in a new package, and making fvwm depend on it.

So, what do you think?
