I used to use fluxbox, though switched to awesome in the meantime. The same
thing irritated me, too. There is the fluxbox-generate_menu script, but it
produces a somewhat scarce menu. So I used fbpanel:

mar...@marcec ~ % eix fbpanel
[I] x11-misc/fbpanel
     Available versions:  4.12
     Installed versions:  4.12(11:50:28 01.04.2009)
     Homepage:            http://fbpanel.sourceforge.net/
     Description:         light-weight X11 desktop panel

That comes with a (not 100%, I believe science packages, e.g. gEDA, don't show
up) complete menu.
