[NetBSD] fluxbox-generate_menu doesn't work

This is an issue mainly on NetBSD , looks like a bug since 2009? I bet that not even it's maintainer does not use this window manager - well well no surpices if some people hate BSD's , primadonna maintainers that usually boot to windoze...

how to fix it:

  • edit the /usr/pkg/bin/fluxbox-generate_menu as root
  • at the line 1223 there is :    USERFLUXDIR="\${HOME}....... 
  • remove the \ before the ${HOME}
