Here's the first example user menu file, default.

The hkm script has a setting that tells it which menu to load if
it's not invoked with any.  By default, that's "default".  There's
a setting that tells it which directory to look in as well.  By
default, that's $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hotkey.lst/, defaulting to
~/.config/hotkey.lst/ if XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't set.

The idea is to put the scripts and keymap file in a system location,
with only the actual menu files stored in the user's home dir and
editable by them.  The menu files don't need executable permissions.

This is my default menu file, invoked if no menu file is passed to
the script.  Note the per-menu-file option comments, with one of them,
postlaunchtimeout, actually set.  The global default is 3 seconds,
generally enough time to see init errors after launch before the menu
disappears.  However, since my default menu entries simply launch
additional menus, a 3/4 second delay is more appropriate.
