ABOUT
=====

**xdgmenumaker** is a command line tool, written in python, that generates
application menus using xdg information, by scanning `*.desktop` files
in all `$XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications` directories. All applications are
sorted according to the main categories as specified by
[freedesktop.org](http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html).

The menu entries that are generated by xdgmenumaker are localised
according to the running user locale settings.

xdgmenumaker currently supports generating menus for **fluxbox**,
**icewm**, **jwm**, **pekwm** and **windowmaker**.

pyxdg and pygtk are required by xdgmenumaker, in addition to python 2.


Fluxbox
=======

To generate an application menu for fluxbox, run xdgmenumaker like this:

    $ 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)

You can add the xdgmenumaker comman
