+You can generate a menu from the `.desktop` file with something like
+this:
+
+``` shell
+#!/bin/sh
+
+getname() {
+    cat $1 | grep '^Name=' | sed 's/^.*=//'
+}
+
+getexec() {
+    cat $1 | grep '^Exec=' | sed 's/^.*=//'
+}
+
+desktop_files=`ls /usr/local/share/applications/*.desktop`
+
+{
+    for i in $desktop_files; do
+        getname $i
+    done
+} | mymenu "$@" | {
+    read prgname
+    for i in $desktop_files; do
+        name=`getname $i`
+        if [ "x$prgname" = "x$name" ]; then
+            exec `getexec $i`
+        fi
+    done
+}
+```
+
+or generate a list of executables from `$PATH` like this:
+
+``` shell
+#!/bin/sh
+
+path=`echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'`
+
+{
+    for i in $path; do
+        ls -F $i | grep '.*\*$' | sed 's/\*//'
+    done
+} | sort | /bin/sh -c "$(mymenu "$@")"
+```
+
 Of course you can as well use the `dmenu_path` and `dmenu_run` scripts
 that (usually) comes with `dmenu`.
