It should. I tested it with everything I could find... even a script to 
convert xdg menus to fvwm menus... The only thing that may not work is 
getting the nice layout in the root menu where we have our workflows 
grouped together at the top (there is a bug in most standard menu config 
files). But other than that it should just work.

In fact, I think that putting studio.menu (from 
/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/) in ~/.config/menus/ would work for 
the user in question (not system wide) just as well.

I do feel that I could split studio.menu into more than one file so that 
just one workflow could be used. That is someone who is just using the 
Graphics workflow might be just as happy with all audio apps in multimedia 
for example. Then again it is just a quick thought off the top of my head 
and perhaps doesn't really make sense.
