xdgmenumaker is a command line tool, written in python, that generates application menus using xdg information, by scanning *.desktop files in all $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications directories. All applications are sorted according to the main categories as specified by freedesktop.org. The menu entries that are generated by xdgmenumaker are localised according to the running user locale settings. xdgmenumaker currently supports generating menus for fluxbox, icewm and windowmaker.
