        return s.replace('&', '&amp;');

                print '<menu id="__%s" label="%s">' % (normalize(entry.get_name()), normalize(entry.get_name()))
 
                for child in entry.get_contents():
                        print_recurse(child, indent+1)
 
                print '</menu>'
 
        elif entry.get_type() == gmenu.TYPE_ENTRY:
                print '<item label="%s">' % normalize(entry.get_name())
                print '  <action name="Execute"><execute>%s</execute></action>' % entry.get_exec()
                print '</item>'
 
def main():
        #menus = [gmenu.lookup_tree('applications.menu'), gmenu.lookup_tree('settings.menu')]
        #for top in menus:
        #       print_recurse(top.root, 0)

        menu = gmenu.lookup_tree(sys.argv[1])
        print '<openbox_pipe_menu>'
        for child in menu.root.get_contents():
                print_recurse(child, 1)
