Yes, it is. The Titlebar (as it is called in Fvwm) allows for one to
define upto ten buttons. They're arranged like this:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 3 5 7 9 Title 0 8 6 4 2
|
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

So in your decor (see AddToDecor in the manpage), you would only want to
define buttons 1,3 and 2. Something like this:
+ AddButtonStyle 1 Vector 5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+ AddButtonStyle 3 Vector 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+ AddButtonStyle 2 Vector 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL
PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Of course, the above is only an example -- the vector images won't match
the functionality you want for the buttons. Furthermore, for those
buttons to appear in the titlebar, you will need to ensure that you bind
them to actions (say a mouse). The following lines would achieve that:
# for the title bar buttons:
Mouse 0 1 A FuncFvwmMaximize
Mouse 0 3 A FuncFvwmMinimise
Mouse 0 2 A Close
This, this says that any button clicked on the buttons defined on the
window, would invoke either one of those actions, depending on the
button pressed in the titlebar.

Yes. If you're using 2.5.X, see "EwmhBaseStruts" in the man page.

Can you clarift by what you mean, please?
