Package: fluxbox
Version: 1.3.5-2+b2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
The fluxbox-menu.5 manpage refers several times to two nonexistent
configuration files. Equivalent files
do exist in a different location with different names:
- '/usr/share/fluxbox/menu' should be '/etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu'
- '/usr/share/fluxbox/windowmenu' should be
'/etc/X11/fluxbox/window.menu'
I don't know if the manpage is wrong or if files are being installed in
the wrong place.
Less critical, there is a near duplicate sentence in the DESCRIPTION
section of the manpage:
The first is the root menu, which normally appears when you
right-click on the desktop.
The first is the ROOT MENU (Or right-click menu), is usually bound to
a right-click on the desktop,
though this binding can be changed in the ‘keys’ file
(fluxbox-keys(5)). This same
syntax is used for the CustomMenu command, also mentioned in
fluxbox-keys(5).
I suggest the first sentence be removed.
Below I'm pasting a patch with my suggested changes.

< Fluxbox installs a default root menu file in
\fB/usr/share/fluxbox/menu\fR\&. You can also use fluxbox \-i to confirm
this location\&. Of course this system\-wide menu can be customized for
all users at once, but it is also possible to create an individual menu
file for each user\&. By convention, users create a menu file in
\fB~/\&.fluxbox/menu\fR\&. Once you\(cqve created your own menu file,
you\(cqll want to make sure that you properly declare this location in
your \(oqinit\(cq file so that fluxbox knows where to look\&. See
\fBRESOURCES\fR, below for details\&.
