xfce4 to fluxbox menu converter
i discovered xubuntu to be a pretty nice distribution. i started
to use it on a 4GB USB-flashdrive and, since xubuntu uses several
hundred MB less diskspace than ubuntu (don't even want to mention
the imho slightly bloated kubuntu here) it was my prefered choice
for the pen drive linux. additionally i set up my new laptop with
xubuntu, doing a switch from debian to ubuntu (after using debian
for over ten years). still i prefer my highly customized and pimped
fluxbox window-manager on my laptop. at the same time i miss the
menus from xfce4. so i wrote a little perl script, to make xfce4
menu entries appear in the fluxbox menu. it adds an extra submenu
to the fluxbox menu and even adds the icons from the xfce4 menu
entries (if available). here's what the fluxbox menu looks like
after including the systemwide xfce4 menu:
