And one can have his/her own regular custom menu and the generated menu in Fluxbox menu. And by a keybinding and/or a menu entry (which is in the lower part in my menu) one can re-generate/update this dynamic menu whenever s/he installs or uninstalls a package.
Attached are my menu screenshot and config.pl and schema.pl files.
I admit to be embarrased especially since I'm almost a Fluxbox fanatic and yet don't remember the fluxbox-generate_menu behaviour. I'll re-try it. As if it didn't have the flexibility of my proposed utility, but as I said I'll re-try it. Sorry for the noise.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
fbgm is far from perfect, don't get me wrong. but for now it's the solution that's part of fluxbox since 10years+ ago and relies only on /bin/sh (roughly speaking).
there are "tons" (5+-) menu-generators out there, some of them produce menus for fluxbox and even others. python based, perl based, whatever. there is the thing that debian uses for menu-generation. some of them actually use the freedesktop.org - standard, some use heuristics to "guess".
in any case ... a menu-generator is included in fbox, i am tempted to close this feature reuqest :)

This utility creates two files:
~/.config/fbmenugen/config.pl
~/.config/fbmenugen/schema.pl

in which regards is this different from fluxbox-generate_menu? you can bind a key-action to trigger it on demand to create your menu.
