This all is strange. Please create a minimal config ~/.fvwm/minimal that
looks like:
DestroyFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
AddToFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
+ I PipeRead 'fvwm-menu-directory -d "$0"'
AddToMenu MenuFvwmRoot
+ MissingSubmenuFunction FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
+ "Root directory" Popup /
Then do "Restart fvwm -f minimal" from FvwmConsole.
The default root menu should contain the last submenu.
Does it stall for you when you enter it?
If it does not stall (I think it will on your system), add this command
using FvwmConsole that is in the root menu, and enter this submenu again:
BusyCursor DynamicMenu True, Read True
In case it does not stall (unlikely), type this into FvwmConsole:
Restart fvwm-themes-start

All popup submenus work on enter + optional delay, not on click, there
are some MenuStyle options to control this, try menustyle_at_brushedmetal.
I don't see anything to be amazed of, these 2 menus behave exactly like
other popup submenus except that they are dynamically built every time.
For example there are 2 Menu entries (not Popup) in the same System menu
labeled Browser. They are separate menus not submenus, i.e. work on click.
I hope they actually work ok for you.

Mikhael.
