Are you editing the menu from within Fluxbox? I'm having a feeling that if you do and then exit Fluxbox, the menu file will be overwritten. You could try to make the changes outside Fluxbox. Fluxbox documentation at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbo...cs.html#AEN659 would tell also you more on how to make the changes permanent.
If that doesn't help, then I suppose you could just make the file read-only after you've made the changes.
kwong, make your own menu, for the sake of this post put it in ~/.fluxbox/(insertfilenamehere). Then exit fluxbox, use the command prompt (or another wm if you want to) to edit ~/.fluxbox/init and change the path to ~/.fluxbox/(insertfilenamehere). When you boot back into fluxbox your menu should be used.
Also do me a favour and post the whereabouts of the Debian one (I lost it).
