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'
