Howdy.

Nope - sorry. That is something that I don't know will ever make it
it, but that I'd like to investigate when I get a chance.

Sort of. There will probably be a way to read the output of an
executable, so you could make a small shell script to create the menu
entries from a directory's contents. I plan to put that in the next
beta, which is only one away from 2.1 if all goes well, although I am
trying to minimize the amount of new stuff going it between now and
then, so it might wait until slightly after 2.1 is released. Still
haven't fully decided...

No problem. I felt the same way after I started using fvwm.
