NAME

        xfce6fb.pl - an xfce4 to fluxbox menu entry converter.

SYNOPSIS

        xfce6fb.pl

DESCRIPTION

        xfce6fb.pl is an xfce4 to fluxbox menu entry converter written in
        perl, merging a fluxbox "menu"-file with a xfce4 "menu.xml"
        file.

USAGE

        * install perl (on debian-based distributions run "sudo apt-get 
          install perl").

        * install perl-module "XML::Simple" (on debian-based distributions
          run "sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl").

        * go to your ~/.fluxbox directory and copy your (or the systemwide)
          "menu" file to the one defined in "$flxb_file" (line 7, this defaults
          to "$ENV{HOME}/.fluxbox/__menu.fluxbox").
          you are advised to NOT use the same file as the final fluxbox "menu"
          file (as defined in line 6, "$flxb_out")!

        * link the xfce4 "menu.xml" file you want to have included to the
          file name defined in "$xfce_file" (line 8, this defaults to
          "$ENV{HOME}/.fluxbox/__menu.xfce4").

        * adjust "@icon_dirs" to your needs (line 9++) and make each array
          entry point to an icon directory used by xfce4. some useful direc-
          tories to icons with a resolution of 22x22 pixel are given.

        * add a single line containing "[exec] (==========) {nop}" into your
          fluxbox "menu" file. this is the starting point for inserting the
          xfce4 entries.

        * set executable flag on the xfce6fb.pl script (on debian-based dis-
          tributions run "sudo chmod +x xfce6fb.pl").

        * run the script.

        * reload the fluxbox-configuration from within your fluxbox menu.

        * enjoy the added xfce4 menu entries.
