This is a little explanation of the jwmrc file.
It's default location is: /etc/jwm/jwmrc
Note: do make backups of this before you edit it.
Also: make a backup before you recover the device, if you want to keep your own changes.
And: jwm isn't just like that going to crash if you make a syntax mistake but it's wise to double-check what you changed before saving/rebooting.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<JWM>
<StartupCommand>
exec bplay /share/sound/startup.wav
</StartupCommand>
That's the startup sound.
Followed by the menu. I shortened it for this post. It starts with <RootMenu and it ends at /RootMenu>
<!-- The root menu, if this is undefined you will not get a menu. -->
<!-- Additional RootMenu attributes: onroot, labeled, label -->
<RootMenu height="15" Onroot="123">
<Program icon="xterm.png" label="Terminal">mrxvt -fn 8x16 -bg black -fg grey -e bash</Program>
<Program icon="gpe-config-kbd.png" label="Run Box">grun</Program>
<Program icon="warning.png" label="Help">leafpad /usr/share/doc/3MX.Help.txt</Program>

</Menu>
<Separator/>
<Program icon="restart.png" label="Reboot">reboot</Program>
<Program icon="logout.png" label="Shutdown">poweroff</Program>
</RootMenu>
Then there's the following. I didn't like Pidgin sticking to all desktops so I disabled this. If you want applications to appear on each desktop, add them to the jwmrc like this.
<Group>
<Class>Pidgin</Class>
<Option>sticky</Option>
</Group>
What follows is the menu at the bottom. Height, autohide, etcetera, it should be clear.
<!-- Additional tray attributes: autohide, width, border, layer, layout -->

<Tray valign="top" halign="right" layer="0" autohide="false">

<Swallow name="wmmixer">wmmixer -w -l cyan</Swallow>
<!-- <Swallow name="wmclock">wmclock -24 -led cyan</Swallow> -->
</Tray>
As you can see here, the programs are 'Swallowed' into the tray. Using this embeds these monitors.
Next, visual styles.
I changed them (partially because these fonts are nicer, also because I don't understand the non-xft syntax
)

</JWM>
Also, I made another slight change.
The bottom tray too is autohide again (every pixel counts!) and the 'desktop buttons' are integrated (the tiny 'quick launch'-style icons next to the menu & show desktop).
And after booting it looks like this:
