What do you want it to do? Present you with commonly-used apps? Allow
you to define new buttons?
If the first, why not customize your fluxbox menu? My top lines are:
--------------------------
daddy:~# head -20 .fluxbox/menu
# This is an automatically generated file.
# Please see <file:/usr/share/doc/menu/README> for information.
# to use your own menu, copy this to ~/.fluxbox/menu, then edit
# ~/.fluxbox/init and change the session.menuFile path to
~/.fluxbox/menu
[begin] (fluxbox)
[exec] (Lyx) {/usr/bin/lyx-qt}
[exec] (Bluefish) {/usr/bin/bluefish}
[exec] (Gnumeric) {/usr/bin/gnumeric}
[exec] (Firefox) {firefox}
[exec] (The GIMP) {/usr/bin/gimp}
[exec] (Xfig) {/usr/bin/xfig}
[exec] (XTerm (Unicode\)) {uxterm}
[exec] ( update menu) {fixMenu}
# Automatically generated file. Do not edit (see
/usr/share/doc/menu/html/index
[submenu] (Apps) {}
daddy:~#
--------------------------
where the fixMenu is a simple shell script to update things when new
apps are installed.
This gives me a list of my common apps at the top of the main menu.
Don't know if this is what you really want, though. HTH.
