am i reading this right what it does is turn any unknown menu type 
into an implicit exec? if so, i'm full body weight against it. errors 
in the menu should be pointed out (and generators fixed), not hidden. 
preventing the crash is best done by making the caller recognize and 
act upon null returned from parsecommand().

wings proplist is there for a reason, it should be used when 
generating proplists (i mean, you aren't writing xml by hand 
either...), just look at the dances in the first incarnation of 
wmgenmenu.

gotos are not necessarily bad :) in fact, in this original scenario, 
it's perfectly fine.
