Right ;-)

It should not be distribution specific. A perl or awk
script which accesses a application database and checks if
the programs a installed would be nice.

DESCRIPTION
This is a perl script which parses GNOME or KDE menus
defin- itions to build corresponding FVWM or FvwmGtk
menus. The script can also build icon and mini-icon
style commands for the applications.
There is no gnome or kde on my box ;-)

NAME
fvwm-menu-directory - builds a directory browsing menu
for FVWM
DESCRIPTION
A perl script which provides an output to read in with
PipeRead to build an fvwm menu containing a directory
listing. Almost everything can be configured.
Also not what I am looking for.
I am looking for a solution which scans _all_ search paths,
say at start time, looks for certain applications, defined
in a database, and sorts them to a set of fvwm menu
definitions. If such a database is available the script
would be quite simple.
Cheers, Uwe
