I got things right, piperead creates the menu only once. You need to
explicitly destroy and recreate the menu each time (or when relevant).
Here is an example of what I use to create a dynamic unread mail status
menu (if anyone is interested in the script itself, mail me. Its not
very efficient and it only handles Maildirs, but it works ;-)
DestroyMenu Mail
AddToMenu Mail Mail Title
+ DynamicPopUpAction Function read-mail-dir
DestroyFunc read-mail-dir
AddToFunc read-mail-dir
+ I DestroyMenu Mail
+ I AddToMenu Mail "Mail" Title
+ I PipeRead '~/.fvwm/maildir_status.sh ~/Maildir'
+ I AddToMenu Mail DynamicPopDownAction Function destroy-mail-dir
DestroyFunc destroy-mail-dir
AddToFunc destroy-mail-dir
+ I DestroyMenu Mail
+ I AddToMenu Mail "Mail" Title
+ I AddToMenu Mail DynamicPopUpAction Function read-mail-dir
