I've been playing with dwm quite a lot the last couple of weeks, and enjoying it much. The dmenu utility (a stripped-down version of wmiimenu) is very cool when mixed with a little scripting.
This is a little script that will list *.uci files using dmenu or wmiimenu (included with wmii.uci), and run mydsl-load on the selected item. If it's already mounted it will be listed with "(M)".
It could easily be extended to use other types of extensions, but since I use *.uci 99.94% of the time I didn't bother =o)
| Code Sample | #!/bin/bash
cd $HOME/mydsl/optional #change to location of *.uci files
for i in *.uci; do
grep -q "\/$i " /etc/mtab
[ "$?" == "0" ] && i="${i}(M)"
[ -n "$UCI_LIST" ] && UCI_LIST="$UCI_LIST,$i" || UCI_LIST="$i" #this check might be unnecessary
done
UCI_FILE=`echo "$UCI_LIST" | tr ',' '\n' | dmenu` #or wmiimenu
[ -n "$UCI_FILE" ] && mydsl-load ${UCI_FILE%(M)}

EDIT: updated dwm link.
NOTE: dmenu has recently been added to the myDSL repository. The package includes a heavily tweaked (and improved, imo) version of this script.
