Bug#868431: wmaker: uses static upstream menu

[Andreas Metzler]

Package: wmaker
Version: 0.95.8-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

Debian's wmaker ships a menu-method for update-menus, but is not used,
wmaker takes /usr/share/WindowMaker/menu.

With an empty ~/ starting wmaker will do the following according to
strace:

1. Generate ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu by copying
/etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu.
2. It then reads the file and finds that it consists of
"menu.hook"
3. It searches for a file named menu.hook in
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/ and /usr/share/WindowMaker/
The search does not succeed, the menu-method writes to
/etc/GNUstep/Defaults/menu.hook.
4. wmaker tries (in vain) to open ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/menu.
5. It finally succeds in opening /usr/share/WindowMaker/menu.

xsession-errors says
"/usr/lib/WindowMaker/wmaker(configureMenu(rootmenu.c:1512)): warning:
using default menu file "/usr/share/WindowMaker/menu" as the menu
referenced in WMRootMenu could not be found"
