I've got these lines in my .fvwm2rc

MenuStyle Black Grey LightGrey \  
        -adobe-utopia-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-100-100-p-90-iso8859-1 fvwm

I belive you got a similar line, but with a space or an other whitespace
character after the backslash. You'll have to find that space.

in vim: (type as seen here)
:s/\\\s*$/\\/
This should replace the extra characters

This is always possible.
