This may be solution but I have not tried it completely, so I can't say it
works for sure.

Using xev you can find the keycode that corresponds to pressing the "windows"
or "menu" key(s). You can then use xmodmap to map that key to some other
keypress, an unused function key, for example.

If you have trouble doing the xmodmap by hand, xkeycaps is a useful tool
for generating maps to be used by xmodmap. The latest version of xkeycaps is
available at http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/.

You can then edit your .fvwmrc to map the (function) key to the desired
behavior.

For example, xev tells me my "menu" key generates keycode 126. My .xmodmap
file contains the line:

keycode 0x7E = Control_L

(Note 126 (decimal) equals 0x7E (hex)).

Hope this helps.
Alan
