If you have a difficult to reproduce problem with install-menu

-----------------------

# cp /usr/share/doc/menu/examples/cat /etc/menu-methods/
7
# bzip2 /tmp/menu-stdin
8
# tar -cvf /tmp/tar.tar /tmp/menu-stdin.bz2 #and any other interesting file

# uuencode /tmp/tar.tar /tmp/tar.tar | mail -s tar.tar joostje@cistron.nl

If you want to try out a menu-method yourselve several times
12
(with minor changes etc), you can use the /tmp/menu-stdin file
13
this way to start your menu-method without starting update-menus:
15
/etc/menu-methods/my_wm < /tmp/menu-stdin

Yeah, something like a tak "buttonbarpriority=0--99" added to every
22
menuentry, where buttonbarpriority=0 means that this entry is absolutely
23
useless in the buttonbar, while buttonbarpriority=99 means that this
24
menuentry really should be in the buttonbar on every debian computer
25
(I'm assuming neighter priority will be used in reality, if this ever
28
Then the file /etc/menu-methods/menu.h could have something like
30
in it, suggesting that menu should create buttonbar entries for the
31
8 highest priority buttonbar entries. (These numbers can then easily
32
be overruled in user files in ~/.menu-methods/* or whatever).
34
Thinking about this, this might actually be doable -- but I don't forsee
35
any spare time comming up in my life soon, so it will take some time
37
(note that the subject of buttonbars and menus has come up quite
38
frequently on debian-devel).
