Good, good. I've attached a small script to set up a couple of
sample menus.

Hmm, yes, that would be one solution. It's more difficult to get
them to use the same palette, but we could live with that.

I'd say it's OK to do the xterm thing. I've patched lynx to do it.
(See <http://www.iki.fi/liw/debian/fvwm2menu/>).
Some people will prefer rxvt or something else to xterm. The command
should be like this:
install-fvwm2menu --install My-Apps/Tools my-lynx none 'Lynx' \
'Exec ${XTERMNAME:-xterm} -e lynx'
(My lynx patch does not do it, however.)
