submenu("XMMS", {
menuentry("Xmms Audio/MPEG", make_exec_fn('xmms')),
menuentry("Xmms Play CD", make_exec_fn('xmms /dev/cdrom')),
menuentry("Download High Bandwidth Mp3 Streams", make_exec_fn('rxvt -rv -T "Grabbing streams..." -e /opt/.xmms_streams_grab.sh highbandwidth')),
menuentry("Download Low Bandwidth Mp3 Streams", make_exec_fn('rxvt -rv -T "Grabbing streams..." -e /opt/.xmms_streams_grab.sh lowbandwidth')),
submenu("Xmms News Feeds", {
menuentry("Xmms Play 'The Linux Show'", make_exec_fn('xmms http://audio.ibiblio.org:8000/linuxlive')),
menuentry("Xmms 'KCPW NPR News'", make_exec_fn('xmms http://kcpw.xmission.com:80/kcpw.ogg')),
menuentry("Xmms 'CBC Radio One News'", make_exec_fn('xmms http://oggtrial.nm.cbc.ca:80/cbcr1-toronto.ogg')),
}),
menuentry("wMix", make_exec_fn('wmix')),
}),
}),
}),
menuentry("Help", querylib.query_man),
menuentry("About Ion", querylib.show_aboutmsg),
submenu("Styles", "stylemenu"),
submenu("Exit", {
--menuentry("Restart", querylib.query_restart),
menuentry("Restart", restart_wm),
menuentry("Restart Fluxbox", function() restart_other_wm("fluxbox") end),
--menuentry("Exit", querylib.query_exit),
menuentry("Exit", exit_wm),
}),
})

this part of the fluxbox menu i convertetd by hand.
you can see it is linear.

there is only ONE defmenu

the syntax is:
defmenu( "menuname", {
menuentry(" menuentry title", make_exec_fn('command')),
submenu( "submenu title1", {
menuentry(" menuentry title1", make_exec_fn('command1')),
menuentry(" menuentry title2", make_exec_fn('command2')),
submenu( "subsubmenu title1", {
menuentry(" menuentry level2", make_exec_fn('command3')),
}),
}),
submenu( "submenu title2", {
}),
submenu( "submenu title3", {
}),
})

simpliefied that is:

defmenu( "title", { sequence of submenu or menuitems seperated by ,})

submenu( "title", { sequence of submenu or menuitems seperated by ,})

menuentry( "title", function())

And this works in Ion?
So I must be doing something wrong in my script. I'm saving this page for reference.
And if i get it working you will definitely be credited in the script...you are keeping me from completely hating Ion =o)
