Last year I mentionned that I think we should retire twm. It's really
too old and missing support for the modern window managers hints.
People still using it should switch to cwm or maybe ctwm from ports
(to keep the same configurarion system), or someone should step up to
maintain it and enhance it with exwmh support. (but this is somehow
just wasting time imho).
Otherwise ok to add this and fix the other WM menus for other window
managers (those parts of the configs are already local changes in
Xenocara)
