I use a package for my fluxbox menu to interpret all those
/usr/share/application/*.desktop files: xdgmenumaker [0]. I package it
for myself in my OBS repository [1] for Devuan Ceres. It requires a
step in the ~/.fluxbox/startup to run and update the menu for the
user, because it will also interpret the ~/.local/share/applications
as part of that XDG specification (which, is the same group of people
as systemd, so take this with few grains of salt!).
