Break so easily

When I upgraded lately, my old fbpanel configuration was broken. I basically stumbled over Debian bug #288594, my old configuration as well as the system default pointed to a no longer existing /etc/fbpanel/menu file. So, my fbpanel no longer showed a menu. Sure enough, my WindowMaker has its own menu, so it was not much of a hassle. The broken menu entry (I just edited out the reference in my .fbpanel/default) annoyed me nethertheless, so I gtfn[*] today and found the missing info: in order to include the system menu, you just have to include a systemmenu entry. My menu referencing section now looks like this and I have a working menu again.

Plugin {
    type = menu
    config {
	image = /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/places/gnome-main-menu.png
        systemmenu {
        }

	separator {
	}
        
        item {
            name = terminal
            image = /usr/share/fbpanel/images/gnome_terminal.svg
            action = /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
        }

    }
}
