Hi Israel,
Updated to rev. 88:
1) Alphabetised menu items looks so much better; good job.2) Autostart/autologin still faulty.3) I'm still seeing 2 nm-applet icons in the top panel.
Cheers,JackT.

      Hi Israel,
        

          
        I
            reinstalled to force log-in screen firstly...I found menu
            item 'Autostart'...typed in my username 'jack' to the Add
            field...clicked OK...rebooted (several times) but each time
            it asked me to login...so that's not working to Autologin
            quite yet.
        

          
        I
            also noticed the 2 nm-applets in the top panel problem is
            there again on installed system.
        

          
        Cheers,
        JackT.

              Hi Israel,
                

                  
                I think once you started that Browser list
                    it has opened up too many glitches.  My initial
                    thought would be just leave Firefox and Chromium in
                    the list and drop the rest.
                

                  
                Regards,
                JackT.

            Hey Jack,

            I think the current version (386)

            fixes these issues, as well as addresses Keiichi's desire to
            promote Palemoon to users.

            As I explained to Nio, many will simply redirect the user to
            a web page.

            Seamonkey is not in the list.

            

            However, I did add something from user-config into the
            firstrun script

            Autologin.

            If you do not use autologin you can try it.

            Please tell me if it does indeed work.

            

            If you are already using autologin you will not see the menu
            item at all.

            Since this is just testing right now (we have a few days to
            see if these work, or revert so an upgrade doesn't break
            things) so I'd like to try this... the code has been there
            for quite a few commits, I just never implemented it... so
            give it a try.

    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
