Geez Mark, a vigorous young man like yourself.  The shame!  How hard is 
[exec] (Ardour) {ardour -n} or running menumaker?

Actually, and joking aside as I'm kidding you and it's been a long time 
since we've "talked" with the last being probably about Fluxbox as well, 
I truly appreciate "having" to make my menus by hand since not only is 
it quick and easy but it results in precisely what I what to then be 
able to use. 

For me Fluxbox, with groups and keys provides the absolutely optimized 
environment for exactly what I am doing.  There's no way things would 
simply shake out like this in one of the automated desktops - KDE, 
Gnome, and the high-priced spreads. 

I understand the straightforward simplicity of graphically editing menus 
using desktop tools but truly feel I have much more at my disposal with 
this environment, not less.  Not less in any way.
