BTW - This probably should be directed to the TkGoodstuff list (if
there is one), not the fvwm list...

One method I've used in the past is to do something like this:

AddToMenu "DiskOps" "Disk Operations" Title
+     "Mount CD" Exec exec su -c "mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdd /cdrom"
+     "Unmount CD" Exec exec su -c "umount /cdrom ; xcdeject"

NOTE: Don't do this exactly this way. Use sudo, or use a mount that
understands "user" in fstab. xcdeject is something I found somewhere
on the net; try a search. Using su like this relies on root having no
password, which is extremely evil.

Or, you could try using the automounter in
http://sunsite.unc.edu/system/misc/mount

although I have no experience with it.
