Your problem is on the first line of your menu definition, AddToMenu "DeskMenu".
Fvwm expects an item and command of some sort after each AddToMenu command, so the
way you have it now, Fvwm interprets there being some sort of null command there,
and tries to execute it, failing of course. At least, that's the way I interpreted
it when I got the same errors. The way to fix it is to move the first line of you
menu definition to the AddToMenu line, like this:
AddToMenu "DeskMenu" "Grab a Shell%mini-term.xpm%" Exec rxvt &
It's ugly, yes, but it works. The Fvwm developers should fix this for 2.1.0, if
they can. It's not so bad if you do something like:
AddToMenu "DeskMenu" "Desk Menu" Title
Then you can pretend that the Title is meant to go in the AddToMenu line :)
Hope this helps!
