xdg-menu package needs testing

It seems xdg-menu is in final stage.

Now I tested icewm, ion3 and fluxbox, and write wrapper.

See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XdgMenu page

Please test it and give me more feedback. All you need - just install
xdg-menu from AUR.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … 1&ID=10286

What we have now:

- common XDG stuff that describes menu layout
- xdg_menu script to generate WM menu
- update-menus wrapper can update menus automatically with config
- supported WMs:
    twm
    WindowMaker
    fvwm2
    icewm
    ion3
    blackbox
    fluxbox
    openbox
    openbox3
    xfce4 (seems not needed because recent version XDG compatible)

Menu autogeneration is optional feature. You may include it into your WM
menu as a submenu or may not.

PS: I took xdg_menu script from suse and add twm and ion3 support into
it. This is main difference. Also I add update-menus wrapper and XDG
stuff.

PPS: I simplify menu hierarchy by removing 2+ menu levels. You may add your
suggestions into http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tal … _hierarchy
and of course edit http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WM_Menu_hierarchy
