I'm having difficulties getting this to work. I tried applying it to my
dungeon package. My postinst script adds a line like this to menus.dat:

Apps/Games dungeon none "Dungeon" Exec ${XTERMNAME:-xterm} -e /usr/games/dungeon

And this line gets added to the Apps/Games menu in menudefs.hook:

+ "Dungeon" Exec ${XTERMNAME:-xterm} -e /usr/games/dungeon

But when I restart fvwm, I don't get that menu entry. Fvwm doesn't report
any errors either.

If I change the line in menudefs.hook to the following, it works fine:

+ "Dungeon" Exec xterm -e /usr/games/dungeon

I'm using fvwm2-2.0.43-BETA-0.
