As I said before, use FvwmButtons + FvwmIconMan:
1) Determine the grid size you need. About 16x16 should usually
do. Then determine the size of the bar you need. For example,
if FvwmButtons is (screen width)x32 pixels:
Style FvwmButtons BorderWidth 0, HandleWidth 0, NoTitle
*FvwmButtonsGeometry 1280x32+0-0
*FvwmButtonsRows 2
*FvwmButtonsColumns 80
# forbid resizing
*FvwmButtonsBoxSize fixed
2) Determine which area should be used by FvwmIconMan. For
example, to let it fill all the height of the bar and stretch
from grid space 10 to 69:
*FvwmButtons: (60x3+10+0, Swallow FvwmIconMan 'Module FvwmIconMan')
3) Place the fixed buttons. Override the button placement
algorithm with explicit size/position args:
*FvwmButtons: (3x2+0+1, ...)
*FvwmButtons: (3x1+0+0, ...)
...
4) Configure FvwmIconMan (see man page).
