In ideal world each icon have flavor in 16x16, 22x22, 24x24, etc. But some
miss:
#!/bin/bash
list=(22x22 24x24 32x32 48x48)
for ((i=0; i<${#list[*]}; i++)) do
for ((j=$((i+1)); j<${#list[*]}; j++)) do
printf "%s %s " ${list[$i]} ${list[j]};
for f in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/${list[i]}/apps/*; do
f=${f##*/}; f=${f%.*}
if [ ! -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/${list[j]}/apps/${f##*/}.* ];
then
echo fail
fi
done | wc -l
done
done
Result on my host:
Prese Absent Num
22x22 24x24 4
22x22 32x32 3
22x22 48x48 3
24x24 32x32 8
24x24 48x48 4
32x32 48x48 13

That is not true in my environment (Debian with stock Fvwm v2.6.5).
I issue:
$ inotifywait -m -r /usr/share/icons/ /usr/share/app-install/icons/
/usr/share/pixmaps
and during walking across menu entries there are no access to above
directories.
Also my ~/.xsession-errors full of:
[fvwm][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from lmms.xpm
[fvwm][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from muse_icon.xpm
[fvwm][scanForPixmap]: <<WARNING>> Couldn't load image from mscore.xpm
during `xinit' evaluation.
So Fvwm hold menu icons in memory!

I read about this script on this list but fail use it.
After debugging I found why, this:
sub get_root_menu
{
my $xdg_config_dirs = $ENV{XDG_CONFIG_DIRS} || '';
my $xdg_menu_prefix = $ENV{XDG_MENU_PREFIX} || '';
foreach my $dir (split(/:/, $xdg_config_dirs), "/etc/xdg")
{
my $menu_file="$dir/menus/${xdg_menu_prefix}applications.menu"; #
warn "looking for root menu $menu_file\n" if $verbose;
return "$menu_file" if -f "$menu_file";
}
return "";
}
uses $XDG_MENU_PREFIX. After reading man page I assume that I should pass
desktop name:
$ ls /etc/xdg/menus/*.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu
/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu
as --desktop option. But actually it work only with calling like:
$ XDG_MENU_PREFIX=debian- fvwm-menu-desktop
$ XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- fvwm-menu-desktop
$ XDG_MENU_PREFIX=xfce- fvwm-menu-desktop
It look strange and XDG_MENU_PREFIX isn't mentioned in man page ((
Man page doesn't point to https://developer.gnome.org/menu-spec/ either.
Does mainstream supply man page or that do Debian?

Debian have "Debian menu policy":
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html/
This is ancient format (dated 1997) to unify menu format for Debian packages. I
filed several bugs to include menu entry for some packages.
Today nobody care about about that menu system. And about 32x32 icons - just
put `.svg' file with `.desktop' file.
Only bizarre WM adapted to use Debian menu system:
$ apt-file search /etc/menu-methods

`/etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook' is actually result of `/etc/menu-methods/fvwm'
and I source that by:
Read /etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook quiet

$ fvwm-menu-desktop | grep size || echo fail
fail
$ fvwm-menu-desktop --version
2.6.5
Too old or Debian maintainer broke script?
How is script supposed to manage icon size? It resize them and store under
~/.cache/fvwm dir?
================================================================
I install my:
http://hg.defun.work/skel/file/tip/.fvwm/config
by:
http://hg.defun.work/skel/file/tip/Makefile
and uses little:
http://hg.defun.work/skel/file/tip/.fvwm/xdg2fvwm.py
to generate menu from /etc/xdg/menus/*.menu entries.
