Thanks A lot corenominal. I didn't really understand what you meant by
" Add the following line to ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml where you would like the menu to appear:
<menu id="Debian" /> "
So I backed up the whole menu.xml , left the first line, and inserted <menu id="Debian" /> " ... worked like a charm... i'm assuming there was something I missed, i'm quite a n00b, I really like #! , it's giving me a chance to learn more. Thanks again!
