To generate an application menu for Fluxbox, you can run
**xdgmenumaker** like this:
**$ xdgmenumaker -f fluxbox > ~/.fluxbox/xdg_menu**
``$ xdgmenumaker -f fluxbox > ~/.fluxbox/xdg_menu``
and then change your main Fluxbox menu to include this file as a
submenu. For example, add this somewhere in your //~/.fluxbox/menu// file:
**[include] (~/.fluxbox/xdg_menu)**
``[include] (~/.fluxbox/xdg_menu)``
