In your FvwmButtons configuration:
*FvwmButtons(... Container(Rows 8 Columns 2) ...)
but:
*FvwmButtons(3x2 ...) # you request 3 columns, while you allocate 2
then:
*FvwmButtons(... Container(Rows 3 Columns 2) ...)
but:
*FvwmButtons(4x1 ...) # you request 4 columns, while you allocate 2
Try to draw squares on the paper first. :) Please remember that logical
sizes like 2x2 are different inside and outside of every container. When
you start a new container, sizes in it are independant from the parent.
I would not suggest to specify Geometry until you get the desired layout.
Example:
1 2 3 4
+---+-----------+
1 | |
| |
2 | |
+-------+-------+
3 | | |
+-------| |
4 | | |
+---+---+-------+
You don't need any containers if you specify sizes and in the right order.
[4x2, 2x1, 2x2, 2x1] # if not sure, containers may sometimes help
You can add one container:
[1x1, 1x1 of Container[2x1, 2x2, 2x1]] # is it better?
You can add one more container:
[1x1, 1x1 of Container[1x1 of Container[1x1, 1x1], 1x1]] # this is it :)
