Hey Jack,

I tested as well.. there is some issue that makes it not show up 
correctly... I will have to look into things more thoroughly.

I have been toying around with alphabetizing the items, and have tested 
numerous times and now I have something that will work extremely well in 
all situations.


Things of note:

If you have desktop files in multiple directories, they will be 
differentiated by a menu separator.  On my personal computer things in my:

~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop

appear *first* in the menu and then a *separator* and then things in my:

/usr/share/applications/*.desktop

But all is alphabetical now, and I think I improved the generation time 
of the menu a bit using std::list, so overall this is a very good change!

So, since my testing has shown (many many many many times in a row) only 
a remarkable improvement I do not think there is need to push this into 
a separate PPA.

You should

rm ~/.cache/jwm-menu.cache ~/.cache/appmod ~/.cache/.appmod.old ;jwm-menu

after you get revision 88
