wmpamgen

wmpamgen is designed to generate a menu to ease access to user's preferred applications under the following window managers : fluxbox, openbox, window maker

The menu is generated according to the installed applications, and, the user's preferred applications list given as a list of .desktop file names.

The generated menu only includes entries for the preferred applications which are already installed when wmpamgen is run. Therefore, to ensure the menu is up-to-date, wmpamgen needs to be run on a regular basis: at startup of the window manager, or when a preferred applications is installed/removed for instance. Under Linux, this can be automated using the inotify API.
