No easy solution, but see FAQ #7.17 (Autohiding), it may or may not help. > I tried "EdgeCommand Bottom Popup Foo", but the menu does not > automatically go away.

You may however use other windows, dialogs or modules instead of menu. For example, use a menu created by FvwmGtk, then KillModule FvwmGtk on leave_window event. Just don't forget to start FvwmGtk again on the next EdgeCommand. The whole working setup may be a bit tricky, but if you really need this, you may try to script it. If you get stuck reask again. It is possible that FvwmGtk grabs X too when a menu is invoked, then this solution can't work; you may switch to a pseudo-menu created by FvwmButtons or something else.
