Actually, you can pretty much do this right now (although it may not
be an entirely elegant solution).
To add to an existing menu on the fly, you can just call AddToMenu.
To recreate it you can call DestroyMenu, and then AddToMenu.
So, if you rewrote your .fvwm2rc file correctly (or safer, had a
separate file just for menu definitions), you could just reread it.
In fact, check out this. In your ~/.fvwm2rc file you could have:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mouse 2 R MC DynamicMenu
AddToMenu DMenu "Dynamic Menu" Title
AddToFunc DynamicMenu "I" DestroyMenu "DMenu"
+ "I" Read .fvwm2rc-dynmenu
+ "I" Popup DMenu
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And ~/.fvwm2rc-dynmenu could look like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AddToMenu DMenu "Dynamic Menu" Title
+ "Rlogin" Module FvwmForm Rlogin
+ "QuitVerify" Module FvwmForm QuitVerify
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This binds Alt-Ctrl-MiddleMouse to this dynamic menu function.
Editing the file .fvwm2rc-dynmenu would result in an immediate change
when you pop up the menu next time with no fvwm commands needed on
your part.
Granted, if you haven't changed that file, it still does waste the
time of reading the file before popping up the menu, but with a not so
large menu this won't be too bad. But if you used it to get the menu
to where you liked it and then just bound the resulting menu directly
instead of through this function, it wouldn't matter anyways.
