By default, the JWM menu generator removes the %U at the end of the Exec= line. How did you start VLC?
Can you share your ~/.jwmrc?

I installed Htop with synaptic. It works well but when I add it to a tray it won´t launch. I tried to start Htop in terminal and from the menu, and also to drag its .desktop file on the desktop. All this works. The line for Htop in jwmrc-tray1 looks ok IMO (<TrayButton popup="Htop" icon="htop">exec:htop</TrayButton>).
You need defaultterminal -e htop
, not htop
.
Try numlockx.
