Mike, I did read the man page, but it doesn't seem to address my problem. I've tried having my init file set $HOME/.fluxbox/menu and /etc/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu as the default, but I've discovered that these files are not updated by running update-menus. So my files in /etc/menu are simply ignored, although they are seen by other window managers. Of course, I could simply edit the .fluxbox/menu file by hand each time I add something to /etc/menu or when I install a program using apt-get, but that eliminates one of the nice features of Debian. But perhaps fluxbox doesn't look at /etc/menu for its basic menu; if so, please let me know. I may have been expecting it to do something it doesn't claim to do (I couldn't find anything in the man page that settled this).
