D'oh! By config.xml I meant rc.xml...

It's not intended for standalone openbox users. That's why it seems a crazy idea for openbox users (well, yeah, it *is*). I thought I'd be a good starting point for users coming from sawfish/gnome and/or using openbox with gnome. BTW, It automatically backs the old menu.xml up (menu.xml~). The normal way of using it outputs a pipe menu.

I think I'll change it for something like "--replace", and "--import" will work as you say (a rather more sensible way for OB users). Using the pipe menu as "root-menu" seems a good idea too, but I didn't use it because I wanted to add reconfigure, obconf and obmenu to the imported menu. Any ideas?

Other pipe menus that will be bundled with obmenu (and are nearly finished) are: RSS, firefox/mozilla bookmarks, navigator (à la KDE) and a sorted menu. The sorted menu will scan a folder and generate something like this:

Any suggestions, please?
