Hi Dominik, :)

Thanks for testing out FvwmButtons.

I've got quite a few minor fixes in my own tree, & I've rearranged
the code a bit to make it a bit neater - I'll need to merge & checkin
soon.

I think an option is best. Any suggestions for a name?

Good idea.

One noticable difference I've made is to draw the button using
Press{Colorset,Icon,Title} when a button has been clicked & instructed
to wait for a window to popup. (the former behaviour was just to make
the button relief sunken.) I think this is intuitive, but would
appreciate other opinions.

SCoTT. :)
