All FvwmButtons is doing is reparenting other windows. Someone would have to emulate that outside of fvwm (the reason it hasn't been done is because there's a module <-> fvwm protocol which FvwmButtons uses). The closest I know of is the program 'tabbed' from suckless. However, this doesn't have the same layout options as FvwmButtons does. Kindly, Thomas
