Package: wmaker
Version: 0.95.8-3
automatically generated menus prevent some applications from running,
e.g. libreoffice will not run complaining that file "%U does not exist"
and others will open an empty file, e.g. %F.
Looking at the code the XDG menu parser does not strip "%X" arguments
from Exec entries, I attached a sample patch as a workaround to this
problem.
