I have debian box with sid
After one of last upgrade I realized that programs disappeared from
menu.
I have some googling and read that debian "abandon" menu method and
migrate to "*.desktop" files. (Yes?)
Unfortunately I cannot use *.desktop files.
There is fvwm-menu-desktop but I cannot use it:

I tried to view it and "Can't find root menu file." is from

And I have no idea what to do next.
