That will not be enough. Basically I want to have a directory _somewhere_
where I can stick some menus that will be appended to the user's main menu
alwways unless the user choosesto override those.
For example the usercan completely override the /u/s/a/start in his
~G/L/A/start. I don't care. To that menu I want to have added the contents
of /u/s/a/fixed-menus that will be merged with what the user has so far
from the */start hierarchy.
Now, that /u/s/a/fixed-menus will behave specially: the user will not be
able to disable it by simply creating a ~G/L/A/fixed-menus dir. He will
have to put in that directory a coresponding entry for every one in
/u/s/a/fixed-menus. I would like to place there menus like Quit, Modules,
etc, menus that are hardly ever changing.
This is the most important issue for us.

You know that we did that since 5.1, don't you ? It is now a matter of
only what we will favor in 5.2 : WindowMaker or AfterStep. So far
WindowMaker behaves better in this game of having a user-configurable menu
part and a system-wide one...
