Which unix shell interprets ^ in quotes specially?
I fixed the problems above and some more, except for ^ and @ in Popup
(they work in Menu with --reuse). I think it should be fixed in fvwm.
Currently when MissingSubmenuFunction is called the argument is not passed
correctly. Double ^^ and @@ are not converted to single ones as should be.
Also if Popup "my name" contains spaces, 2 parameters are passed. The
whole name may be read in $*, but $* is not good for fvwm-menu-directory
(unlike $0 .. $9 if you use $* you should know how the function is called),
the best solution is to implement what the man page says:
I.e. the name is passed to the function as its
first argument and can be referred to with "$0".
