no, killing fvwm-menu-directory doesn't help.
But ps shows that the call to fvwm-menu-directory contains more parameters
than just '-d "/"'.

kzeitler 10861 794 0 14:53:40 pts/3 0:00 sh -c fvwm-menu-directory -d "/" --exec-file ^emacs --check-subdir --links --wm

seems to be from functions-appbind in default theme:

DestroyFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
AddToFunc FuncFvwmMenuDirectory
+ I PipeRead 'fvwm-menu-directory -d "$0" --exec-file ^emacs --check-subdir --links --wm-icons'

I can run the whole command (with and without the additional options) just
fine in a shell.


What amazes me is that fvwm stalls when I simply move the mouse over one of
the 2 menu entries "Root dir" or "Home dir", i.e. I don't click any of these
two entries. I'd expect fvwm to run the fvwm-menu-directory command as soon
as I select, i.e. click one of these entries.

Thanks,

Klaus
