[openbox] Adding to an existing openbox menu

[Jim Anderson]

Yes, that is what I have always done in the past. Recently, the Linux 
distribution that I use started using' jgmenu' to generate menus. Until 
I received your response, I thought 'jgmenu' is part of openbox, but I 
now think that is incorrect. I have to step back and figure out what the 
current jgmenu flow is.

Apparently, jgmenu generates the menus on the system and feeds that to 
openbox somehow. I have been trying to change menu.xml and I believe 
that is not valid now.
