>From the fvwm2 man page:

              Popup differs from Menu in that pop-ups do not stay
              up if the user simply clicks. These are Twm style
              popup-menus, which are a little hard on the wrist.
              Menu provides Motif or Microsoft-Windows style
              menus which will stay up on a click action. See
              menu for an explanation of the interactive
              behaviour of menus.

I think you should use

+ "I" Menu Utilities

and you'll get the behaviour you expect.
