Hi, sometime a long time ago somebody showed me how to do what I think
you need to do.  Try the following (I assume you have root privilege):

look for the file /usr/lib/X11/system.mwmrc

Within it (near the top) you'll find a section similar to what mine
looks like:

#
# menu pane descriptions
#

# Root Menu Description
Menu RootMenu
{
    "Root Menu"		f.title
    no-label		f.separator
    "New Window"	f.exec "aixterm &"
    "Shuffle Up"	f.circle_up
    "Shuffle Down"	f.circle_down
    "Refresh"		f.refresh
    no-label		f.separator
    "Restart..."	f.restart
    "Quit"		f.quit_mwm
}

[ rest of file deleted ]

Where you probably need to add that last line "Quit"  f.quit_mwm
