This is a known bug with the default-config in fvwm 2.x (which is no longer a supported release). The issue is that the default-config didn't define the ItemFormat correctly to account for additional columns (which aren't used directly in the default-config). But menus that add these additional columns will not be shown. This was fixed in fvwm3, and the fixed ItemFormat from the fvwm3 default-config is: MenuStyle * ItemFormat "%s%|%3.1i%5.3l%5l%5r%5.3>%|" Add that to your config (replace the similar line in the default-config) and things should work again. As a side note, since fvwm2 is no longer supported, if you want to build an fvwm3 package for any debian based systems, follow the instructions here: https://github.com/somiaj/fvwm3-debian/ The debian build tools automate most of the process, so outside of having to install the build dependencies, it is fairly straight forward. This should work on oldstable, though I personally use it on stable. jaimos
