[openbox] how to change language for pipemenus

[Frank McCormick]

    Well I found one of the problems -- when the extra needed Perl files 
(Linux/dump.pm etc etc) were installed they went into 
/usr/local/share/perl  instead of /usr/share/perl.


I fixed that by copying them over - but now when I insert a pipe menu 
using obmenu-generator using OBMenu...I get invalid output.

The line I'm using is "obmenu-generator -i -p" which according to the 
docs should generate a pipe menu.

I haven't figured out how to include a static menu in menu.xml yet. The 
whole system is confusing to me...or maybe I'm getting old :)
