I think Motif already such a Atom (I have seen a atom starting with MWM 
and ending in MENU). But I don't know how it works.

What I currently do is a redesign of the WMaker AppMenu code (implementing all 
menu entry types, changing the property style, etc.). After this it will be
quite useable for other browsers (as the icewm hints are useable...).
