It spanws a new xterm (see below).
Does the Debian menu-method for sawfish support this? How portable are
things like »Control+Mod1+x«, iow do most/all window managers use this
kind of format for keybinding specification?
AFAIK shortcut= is not mentioned in any menu documentation. If key
specifications are the same with all window manages or if converting
from one format to another is easy, it might be worth proposing it as
a should for menu-methods.

~/.menu/xterm in full:
| ?package(xterm):\
needs=x11\
section=XShells\
longtitle="XTerm: terminal emulator for X"\
title=XTerm\
command="xterm -bg black -fg lightblue3 +bdc +ulc -fn fixed" \
shortcut="Control+Mod1+x"
And with some menu voodoo this is in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/menu.hook:
[..]
| "XTerm" SHORTCUT Control+Mod1+x EXEC xterm -bg black -fg lightblue3 +bdc +ulc -fn fixed
[..]
