You can use the command wmconfig to create lines in your various menus
however this won't create simple lines in your startup menu it will
create them under the other menus.
As an example first create the directory .wmconfig in ~/ and then use
the command wmconfig to create the file to put under this directory.
As an example for 'gimp I have a file named gimp that looks like:
gimp name "Gimp"
gimp description "Graphics"
gimp exec "gimp &"
gimp group "Graphics"
gimp mini-icon "mini-xv.xpm"

Try putting the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients as .Xclients in your home
directory also. Xinit calls Xclients if it is there and Xclient has
the info to start the WM. Of course you could cut that info out of
Xclients and put it all into .xinit.
If you still need help contact me offline and I'll help you get
started with that.
