As already shown this was generated by a programme called menumaker which is at http://menumaker.sourceforge.net/, and although it is getting a bit long in the tooth now and hasn't really been updated for several years, its still useful. It is very quick to generate the menu for you, and quite easy to set it all up, but the only gripe I have with it is that the menu itself when it has a large number of programmes in its menu instead of having just one column which is quite long, it has two or even three columns which take up quite a bit of space. I mean like this

Figure 1

But, by careful use of the menu, you can minimize the size of the menu by using a style which has a smaller font size thereby taking up less screen space. The whole file is saved as /home/boudiccas/.fluxbox/menu.

I now have a much smaller menu, but have a usermenu which autoloads from the main menu and this is it -

Again, look out for the line-wrapping. The relevant part for the auto-loading is

   !#[separator]
        !#[submenu] (My Menu)
        !#[include] (~/.fluxbox/usermenu)
    !#[end]

without the !# comments at the beginning of each line. This means that I can add things to the menu without generating a new main menu, which could be done using the command of '[exec] (make a new menu) {mmaker fluxbox -f}'. But, when you do generate a main menu you have to add those 'My Menu' lines yourself and remove the comments from them to enable it to work. I find this very useful and means that I don't have to generate a new menu every time I install a new programme as I can just add it into the 'usermenu' and its automatically available for use.

Its also possible to generate a menu from fluxbox-generate_menu which is here -

# Generated by fluxbox-generate_menu on 15/06/13
#
# If you read this it means you want to edit this file manually, so here
# are some useful tips:
#
# - You can add your own menu-entries to ~/.fluxbox/usermenu
#
# - If you miss apps please let me know and I will add them for the next
#   release.
#
# - The -r option prevents removing of empty menu entries and lines which
#   makes things much more readable.
#
# - To prevent any other app from overwriting your menu
#   you can change the menu name in ~/.fluxbox/init to:
#     session.menuFile: ~/.fluxbox/my-menu

If you compare the two different menus which are the mainmenu, you'll see that the menu maker one is far more comprehensive and easier to use and gives a far better menu to use in fluxbox.
