My shorthand for a menu entry labeled "More ..." or similar which pops
up another menu.

As are most of the subscribers to this list, I suspect. GoodStuff was
the rough equivalent of FvwmButtons in fvwm1.

The point was that a menu is rather limiting for what you may want to
do. It would allow you to do just one action. You can configure
FvwmButtons to lay out the 60 buttons however you see fit, perhaps
with extra blank buttons to match the physical topography. You would
then have the option to assign different actions to different mouse
buttons and modifiers. Indeed you could do something like swallow an
xload for each PC into its button.
