The python script fvwm-menu-desktop requires the python-xdg module,
seems it is called pyxdg in slackware.

Note, this requires python2, the build process in fvwm doesn't always
enforce this, you may have to edit the shebang on the top of the
script to point at python2 (not python3) and install that module to
work. If you don't have python2 installed, you will need to install it
and the module for python2.
