As Micky Del Favero and KatolaZ say, a text plain is the best choice for
that, located in ~/.config/something/something.rc.
I would not recommend any database, neither MongoDB, neither SQLite, etc...

Two years ago aproximatelly i started working on a menu program in C,
but after i discovered openbox-menu i quitted the project. In spite of
this, now it's one of my projects in mind.

Jaromil: why do you consider insane the use of *.desktop? This is the
system used by all the dinamical menu lauchers: the *.desktop files, the
*.directory files and in some cases also a *.menu file located in
/etc/xdg/menus/ (i.e. xfce-applications.menu)

Cheers,

Aitor.
