First, I think you do, but can you verify if you have the menu package
installed? (what does "dpkg -s menu" say?)
Next, have to tried restarting fvwm2 after you run update-menus? The new
menu entries will only take effect after fvwm has re-read its config files.
If that doesn't help, please tell us the versions of the menu package and of
fvwm2 you have installed.
