Suggestion: Menu (openbox-like) #3

Just test this like 5 minutes ago, totally love it, nice and clean but only one 
little thing that send all of the beauty to hell: There is no launcher!
I get that you try to do a very minimal WM, but, a menu like the one in openbox 
(or other *Box WM) would be great, 'cause the only way i get to launch an 
aplication was by launching it on xterm! (not-so-fancy method)

Just a suggestion, and as i already say, totally love this, keep the good work!

Thanks! It is really motivating to know someone is using lunchbox.  It is a 
problem with the default install that there isn't any way to launch other 
programs. What I intend is for the WM to be used in conjunction with another 
launcherprogram like "netbook-launcher". This would require that people choose 
the launcher (two clicks + scanning the menu) from the program menu but the 
payoff would be that the launcher can use the whole screen and offer advanced 
functionality (like search). Session management when it is working will allow 
people to skip that step for their main programs. The program menu can handle 
more entries than a taskbar which should increase the effectiveness of session 
management as well.
