Sorry to jump in, but I second this wholeheartedly. While I love FVWM
more than any other WM, something that I really hate is the fact that when
I make a change to my .fvwm2rc file, I have to restart. While I'm at my
console, this isn't a problem ... but when I'm sitting up in the computer

option of an external rc file which I really, *REALLY* like. I can make
changes w/o starting FVWM. Not to compare apples to oranges, but OLWM
lets me change menu items w/o restarting.
I'd love to see an option that I could add to a menu:
