if you want make some screenshots with opened menus try (i'm using fvwm 2.5.6) open a menu and press backspace key. and if you open some
submenus too click on the submenu, move the cursor on the submenu and press backspace.

what is the command for do it? i'd like to map this action with another key
thanks,
