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?

Hi,

I have had a quick look at your menu there are few errors ...

Have manged to get Root menu working ....

Please PM if you want  the file

I have removed most of your menu set up as I feel one of them maybe wrong & thats why menu does not work ...

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.

There are quite a lot of errors but nothing that cannot be fixed ;-)

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.

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.
