Probably you are running a command in an xterm, and the command
returns immediately with an error. For example, you may have
this:
AddToMenu ManPages
...
+ FvwmFoobar Exec exec xterm -e man FooBar
If you need to read the error message, replace this with
+ FvwmFoobar Exec exec xterm -e /bin/sh -c 'man FooBar; sleep 999'
