Troubles with OpenBox3 menu. [Solved]
Recently I have installed OpenBox3, and I have really been satisfied with it. Though I have som problem with the menu. I have created a menu with menumaker, but I didn't like the way it was configured, so I changed it. But now I can't use it, It's using the standard 'menu.xml' instead.
Here is the 'menu.xml' (it's on another server): http://linuxin.pastebin.com/355394
Can you help me?

just go to a tty and start a fresh instance of x with openbox as a windowmanager, then you can read all error output on the tty.

Re: Troubles with OpenBox3 menu. [Solved]
Just a typo fault. There were missing some tags and stuff.

Yeah, I've not been happy with any menus created by menumaker, either. Instead, I usually just do it all by hand, but that can take a while. I've not tried ob3menuizer yet, but might do so the next time I need a new menu. Thanks for the suggestion, penguin.

Re: Troubles with OpenBox3 menu. [Solved]
Creating your own menu.xml is a pain, but with a good editor it does not take too long ...
Tried both of those menu creation apps did not like the result ...

Yeah, I haven't cared for any of the config tools I've tried for the "....box" window managers. It just seems easier and cleaner to edit everything by hand.
