Ok, I send bug report to Debian package maintainer to update package with
newer version!

I check sources as suggested by Dan Espen in followup.

I don't understand some parts of your code (dynamic menu reconstruction, have
no time to deep into manual).
But it was enough to craft quick test without destroying running desktop.
So after building fvwm from CVS:
./configure --prefix=$PWD/.usr
In order to keep existent script live I put `fvwm-menu-desktop' under different
name:
~/.local/bin/fvwm-menu-desktop2
I try:
$ fvwm-menu-desktop2 --insert-in-menu TestMenuRoot
But now man page state that I need XDG_MENU_PREFIX:
$ XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- fvwm-menu-desktop2 --insert-in-menu TestMenuRoot
Within FvwmConsole I run:
DestroyMenu TestMenuRoot
AddToMenu TestMenuRoot Menu Title
PipeRead 'XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- fvwm-menu-desktop2 --enable-mini-icon
--insert-in-menu TestMenuRoot'
Key F2 A M Menu TestMenuRoot Root c c
and on Alt+F2 I get SUPER FANCY menu.
Only one issue there is. With `--enable-mini-icon' option stript execution
time becomes near 20 sec. Subsequent call takes near 4 sec. While without
icons it works about 1 sec.
So I decide to build menus during `.fvwm' installation instead of using
dynamic build.
During experimentation I run `fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl' because it was
suggested by fvwm-menu-desktop when I didn't set XDG_MENU_PREFIX.
FvwmPerl man page say that this by may be placed into $FVWM_USERDIR. But I
decide live without it.
Thanks for support!

That is great! I was at writing my own solution.
