Update if anyone cares:
I love the more dynamic method.. I now have a functional XFCE, OpenBox, Window Maker, and IceWM... all with their own Menu Launch buttons in Personal Menu. Only problems I experienced is OpenBox, with a lack of right click, is extremely difficult to work with.. and something is fubar'd that is causing Window Maker's configuration applet to seg fault when I try and change the mouse left click from Select Window, to open Application Menu... this worked fine when I did the manual chroot with untar'ing of the bootable debian.. so something in this new debian is disagreeing with wmaker. Wmaker still functions fine, and the keyboard page works great, so a simple map of Ctrl+A gives me my app menu.. not a show stopper for Wmaker.

IceWM and XFCE are, so far, flawless... and all of these I didn't have to make any changes to the scripts after the initial changes explained earlier.. just a simple apt-get install, and a Menu Creation away and you've got a new desktop waiting for you.

very cool.

Offensivebias - I can confirm that it is xfce4-session that will launch XFCE.

Qole - I did notice something funny.. the way you do the grep to find the window ID .. I named my window ID OpenBox; and also had MicroB open to a page that had OpenBox in the title.. So it maximized my Browser and tried using it .. Definitely need to use unique names in that..
