Apparently not, eh? ;^)
I haven't been doing much of that lately, actually, which I imagine
you noticed from my lack of input to the beta list. Work has been
pretty hectic (and my activities outside of work too) . I apologize
for slacking off there and promise to return to beta testing ASAP...
I'm hoping to upgrade my Linux system very shortly to allow me to do
more work on fvwm and XEmacs at home. I only have about 10Mb to do
development with on my Linux box. Roomy enough for fvwm, but not for
XEmacs (which I obviously can't even install yet due to the space
constraints).
And since I don't have XEmacs there, I do less work on fvwm at home
than I should...

Nope, unfortunately. The way the module system is set up, having
modules deal with the menus is difficult (for instance, someone else
wanted the FvwmButton module to be able to popup menus on the
ButtonPress, which doesn't work and I wasn't able to find an easy
fix). I'd like to try and address this in the future.
Actually, you should be able to do it using a function. Yup - I just
did the following in my .fvwm2rc:
------------------------------------------------------------
Mouse 2 R MC DynamicMenu
AddToMenu DMenu "Dynamic Menu" Title
AddToFunc DynamicMenu "I" DestroyMenu "DMenu"
+ "I" Read .fvwm2rc-dynmenu
+ "I" Popup DMenu
------------------------------------------------------------
So Alt-Control Middle mouse button rereads the .fvwm2rc-dynmenu file
which was just:
------------------------------------------------------------
AddToMenu DMenu "Dynamic Menu" Title
+ "Rlogin" Module FvwmForm Rlogin
------------------------------------------------------------
Then I changed .fvwm2rc-dynmenu to:
------------------------------------------------------------
AddToMenu DMenu "Dynamic Menu" Title
+ "Rlogin" Module FvwmForm Rlogin
+ "QuitVerify" Module FvwmForm QuitVerify
------------------------------------------------------------
And hit Alt-Control Middle again. Changed Immediately.
This sounds like a good thing to add to the FAQ or to the sample rc
file. I'll copy the FVWM mailing list on this reply too, since there
may be others out there who'd like to do this.
Hope I've been of assistance,
(the other) Chuck
ps - An unrelated subject. Someone should put the latest precompiled
linux version of XEmacs out on sunsite so it makes it into the next
round of CDROMs that go out. They all seem to have just lemacs-19.10.
Time to get the Linux community upgraded!
