Window Maker permits generation of menu entries (on Debian: The submenu of the "Applications" toplevel entry) from the host system's installed application.

This runs wmmenugen -parser=xdg /usr/share/applications/* to create a text plist tree of the menu structure to stdout.

Feature request: Support generated menu items (submenus), eg. by running wmmenugen and capturing & interpreting the output.

(note: This is blocked on having support for menus)
