[openbox] open pipemenu in menu

[Thomas Hinterberger]

I think this is, that you have to put these two lines in one:

my $APPSDIR = "/usr/share/applications/ 
/usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/ ~/.
gnome/apps/ ~/.kde/share/apps";

this I have done, but with which application do you check syntax error?
