Blackbox renders Debian submenu as whole menu

[libertyernie]

Binary package hint: blackbox

When blackbox and menu are installed on Ubuntu Feisty, the Debian submenu appears as the whole Blackbox menu, rather than a submenu. This is because the Ubuntu version of Blackbox looks for its menu in /etc/X11/blackbox/blackbox-menu.
To fix this, we could have Blackbox look first in ~/.blackbox/menu, then /etc/X11/blackbox/blackbox-menu, and only then have it render the bare-bones default (xterm, restart, exit).
This can easily be remedied by changing the .blackboxrc, so it's not urgent. I just thought I would bring it up.

This is the same problem the link below.

I can confirm this bug on gutsy gibbon (7.10)

Tested in 2007-01-10. Problem solved using only
$sudo update-menus

This seems to be a bug in menu and not any particular window manager. It is fixed in latest Debian sid. Ubuntu was just unlucky enough to import new packages when this bug existed.

Thank you for your taking the time to file this bug report and helping improve Ubuntu. Can you please confirm if this problem is still reproducible on Ubuntu Intrepid?

[libertyernie (libertyernie)]

The right-click bug is fixed in Intrepid, and I believe it is fixed in
Hardy too.
Also, the Debian menu taking up the whole menu is actually
intentional, something I did not realize when I filed the bug.

Looking into this for Fluxbox.
