Following up on a question about the Awesome WM menu contents, I'd like to figure out how to import the GNOME menu in its entirety into the menu.lua file for Awesome.

It looks like xdg-menu-to-awesome-wm does the job:

python awesome-xdg-menu.py > ~/.config/awesome/menu.lua

Then modify rc.lua to include it according to the readme (perhaps replacing the Debian menu). Now if only there was some way to avoid converting every time I install a GUI application...

I use awesome-freedesktop which reads the menu files when awesome is started so there is no need to rerun it manually.
