Lots of people like fvwm, although I prefer ctwm myself.

That's probably the fvwm window manager. It comes with a fairly
full-featured .fvwmrc (.xinitrc doesn't have much to do with the
feature set of your window manager). You can configure the pop-up
menus to do practically anything you want in any of the window
managers. Just need to read through the man pages to find out all the
capabilities.
