vim ~/.icewm/menu

OK, to be honest, this is just about a people. If somebody is interested 
enought, he can write it. But this is not the last thing you need to do. 
You have to maintain it. At that is where most of those tools like IceME 
ends.

Same with IceWM. The "big" WMs are going fast forward, influencing 
underlaying structures like X/sessions/composition etc. For IceWM which 
was always a more or less one man project, it is hard to catch up. Anyway 
if somebody steps up as a main developer, it would not be a first change 
in IceWM history. But is anybody interested enought?
