#169843 — Debian menu for fvwm2

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
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
unless (-f $root_menu)
{
    warn "ERROR: Can't find root menu file.\n" if $verbose;
    exit 1;
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and "root_menu" variable is set in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sub get_root_menu
{
    my $xdg_config_dirs = $ENV{XDG_CONFIG_DIRS} || '';
    my $xdg_menu_prefix = $ENV{XDG_MENU_PREFIX} || '';

    foreach my $dir (split(/:/, $xdg_config_dirs), "/etc/xdg")
    {
        my $menu_file="$dir/menus/${xdg_menu_prefix}applications.menu"; # 
    warn "looking for root menu $menu_file\n" if $verbose;
        return "$menu_file" if -f "$menu_file";
    }
    return "";
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And I have no idea what to do next.

That is correct.

Looks like fvwm-menu-desktop is quite buggy and has already been
rewritten:
