Just use obmenu-generator to generate a new menu and overwrite any changes, perhaps?
Well, xterm is not there anymore and the only change I noticed is that after "obmenu-generator -u -i" I get the whole menu script running in the terminal. I'm not sure regarding any other changes. After checking menu.xml there is nothing regarding xterm. The menu works fine, icons looks great, the only issue so far I discovered was Volti. It does not start from the menu. Other items seem to work fine.

Fantastic, thanks for your work here

Well, volti is usually autostarted -- is that not working?
Does volti run if you start it from a terminal?
If not, does it return any error messages?

Work!? It's linux, it's fun! You're welcome anyhow and in fact I have to thank you for providing obmenu-generator. I think for this DE a specific package for the new menu is a big step forward. At least I was missing something like a start-menu (which I used to sorted out with Cairo-dock). This is simply better than the old openbox menu imho, especially for noobs.
Volti is running, I can start the mixer via Sound-Icon. From terminal I could also start it, but it says one instance is already running. Ahh, I think I got it!!! Hence only one instance is allowed, it tries to start it from the menu again, but that's not possible, so nothing happens. Maybe there is somewhere Volti, where it should be "show mixer".

Have you tried:
volti-mixer

On fresh BL VM I installed the latest package from the OP repo ...
And it went swimingly! All as expected!

I tried it now, it works via command line. I checked schema.pl, there are only categories. I'm not sure in which file I could try to change "volti" to "volti-mixer" (if that's the correct reason for not starting it) to get it work from the menu.

Sounds great! Does there Volti starts from the menu? Edit: It does, with a small fix - see Head_on_a_Stick's post.

Glad to help! I should also try the 'obamenu' that xaos52 made see how they differ, or don't.

Try modifying /usr/share/applications/volti.desktop and change the "Exec=" line from volti to volti-mixer
(untested)
EDIT: No, wait, that's how I would hack it ]:D
The correct method is to copy /usr/share/applications/volti.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/ and edit that file instead.
O:)

Brilliant! This method did it, mixer starts. So far I can tell everything starts now from the menu and everything looks like it should be. Very nice, good job.

folks, about the xterm woes mentioned earlier, this can be set in a different file called config.pl.
you can copy it to the same folder where schema.pl resides (~/.config/obmenu-generator).
in there is a definition for which terminal it should use.

Indeed, there is a terminal line in config.pl. I changed that before but the error message still popped up (even after starting it again). I checked it again -> if it's only set correctly in config.pl and xterm remains in schema.pl, it does not seem to start.

maybe you should replace all occurences of "xterm" with "$terminal" in schema.pl.

It works fine now. This was the culprit in schema.pl (line 34) [there was xterm instead of terminator]:
{item => ['terminator', 'Terminal', 'terminal']},

I installed obamenu-generator, so there is no menu/help for me anymore. I found help though, in Accessories.
I'm sure it would be possible to include the original bunsenlabs menu inside the dynamic menu generated by obmenu-generator, probably as a submenu.
in a similar manner as outlined here.
so the line added to schema.pl would be sth like this:
~~~snip~~~
{raw => q(<menu id="Bunsenlabs" />)},
~~~snip~~~
this is a tricky business, it would be nice to somehow set that up inside the package?
Offline
Having the whole Bunsen Menu is indeed a possible solution. Although it leads to having lots of things available doubled or even tripled (there are some entries already at more than one submenus like synaptic). I'm not sure whether it might be a possible solution for those couple of entries, that do not turn up through obmenu-generator but exist in the Bunsen Menu, to make them available via tweaking schema.pl (e.g. places, recent files, help, display keybinds).

^ Very true, I keep it there so if someone asks I can do things like:
OB Menu » Settings » Tint2 » Edit Tint2s » Tint2 Editor, and know it's right because I looked.
Or include a 'cropped' image, but usually damo or HoaS beat me to answering things, so mostly it's just there.
