 The Menu package should NOT put the MainMenu definition into the
menudefs.hook file!  That is not where they belong.  They belong
inside the main-menu.hook file, which should have an AddToMenu
MainMenu placed at the top, to prevent those entries from getting
tacked onto the last menu defined in the user's
~/.fvwm2/main-menu.hook file.

 Every time that menu runs its thing and regenerates the menus, it
puts a DestroyMenu MainMenu and definitions for the MainMenu into
menudefs.hook, and also creates a main-menu.hook file with no
AddToMenu MainMenu at the top.  This loses my main-menu-pre.hook
menus, and tacks a second copy of the main menu onto the end of my
last menu item.

 To fix the breakage, I have to delete the last section of
menudefs.hook, removing all of the MainMenu stuff in there, and then
add an AddToMenu MainMenu to the top of the main-menu.hook file.
