The fvwm terminology is: FvwmPager shows one or several desks with 3x3
pages inside each desk, FvwmButtons is a kind of an application panel.
Every desk has its name (like "Main").
There is a convention in fvwm-themes to have 2 pagers, one that
shows the current desk (FvwmPager-Single, it is often swallowed in
FvwmButtons) and one that shows 4 desks (FvwmPager-Desker).

If you insist to change the modules in the default theme (this is not the
best thing to do, because your changes will be lost on the next install)
then replace the line above with:
*FvwmButtons: Geometry 100x450-0-0
*FvwmButtons: Columns 2
*FvwmButtons: (2x8, Frame 2, \
Swallow "FvwmPager-Desker" "Module FvwmPager FvwmPager-Desker * *")
You may need to read the FvwmButtons man page to create new button bar
designs (all man pages may be found in the menu).

If you have fvwm-themes related problems then I suggest you to subscribe
to fvwm-themes-users_at_ mailing list and describe them again.
You may want first to explore the menu, there are different options to
choose from and different themes have different sets of options. It is
possible there is already something you need.

Mikhael.
