Why is it impossible to execute reboot giving you have root permissions?

If you only want a delay for external shell commands then this will do it:

  Exec sleep 300; reboot

BTW, shutdown has -t parameter for this. But sleep works for other
shell commands.

In 2.5.x you may postpone any fvwm command, say in 180 seconds:

  Schedule 180000 Quit

  Schedule 180000 Exec exec something

See also Deschedule.
