This is the problem. update-menus checks to see if there is indeed a
package staroffice4 installed on your system. If not, it will not
include an entry.
There are a couple of solution.
* I believe that there is a Debian package that will install a fake
package.
* Use ?package(some_other_package_that_is_installed). This will
work and shouldn't cause problems with the other package.
* Add an entry directly into /etc/X11/fvwm2/main-menu-pre.hook
