[SOLVED] Configuring menu.xml in OpenBox (dynamic)

Hello everyone
I know this topic is explained in wiki but I have problem with it.
Well, I would like to add a submenu which contains a dynamic list of all apps, like "Applications" menu in gnome.
I tried using xdg-menu but it is kinda buggy, I get strange names to the apps and every app is listed twice.
Does anyone have a better solution?
Thanks.

This works to solve the double menu entries:

When you said 'strange names', do you mean that the apps are listed in a language other than your own? If so, I see that too. My system is in English, but I get some entries in Spanish. I've never found a solution to that problem.

I tried replace gdm with slim, changing xorg.sh, creating that "gnome-menu" script, and i still get duplicate apps in my menu :\
And by strange names i meant that pidgin for example is shown in french or spanish..
Help

SOLVED
I used these files:
http://chaingang.org/code/linux/obscripts/bop_gmenu.py
http://chaingang.org/code/linux/obscripts/boplib.py

Just put them in the same directory, add +x premission to bop_gnome.py and create a pipe menu for it.

And it works.
