You don't describe in detail what you are doing with FvwmButtons,
so I have to guess your configuration looks like this.
addtofunc somefunction
+ C thiswindow (FvwmButtons) windowshade e
+ C testrc (nomatch) windowshade toggle
...
mouse 1 sf a somefunction

Make a function that sets the EwmhBaseStruts style before sliding
the button bar:
addtofunc somefunction
+ C thiswindow (FvwmButtons) shadefvwmbuttons
+ C testrc (nomatch) windowshade toggle
...
addtofunc shadefvwmbuttons
+ I thiswindow (shaded) Style * EwmhBaseStruts <unshaded settings>
+ I thiswindow (!shaded) Style * EwmhBaseStruts <shaded settings>
+ I windowshade e
mouse 1 sf a somefunction
Note that the styles are activated only after the function has
completed and fvwm is idle. That means, if another function
maximizes (e.g. because you pressed mouse buttons on hold), it
will assume the old struts. This is usually very rare and not a
problem. If it is, add
+ I UpdateStyles
at the end of the shadefvwmbuttons function.

Maybe because it's better? ;-)
