The problem with RTFM is that sometimes it's hard to figure out which
manual it is one is supposed to read.
Hooking into the auto-generated menus is best done through the menu
package - point your favorite web browser to
file://localhost/usr/doc/menu/html/index.html
and read the section on "How a user can override the menus". The
advantage of this is that your new entries would appear in other menus
should you choose to change window managers. (You can also make
certain menu entries fvwm2 specific, but even then they'll appear in
things like fvwm95 which can, in theory, do anything fvwm2 can)
Alternatively, you could in your post.hook have code like:
AddToMenu "/Debian/XShells" "&Super-user xterm" Exec ssh -l root localhost xterm -title "Root Shell"
