This is the best version of the function I managed to write:
--
Style FvwmButtons MouseFocus
# Set thickness of the edge of the screen to 1
EdgeThickness 1
EdgeCommand Bottom Next (FvwmButtons) Focus
Style FvwmButtons CirculateHit, MouseFocus
Module FvwmButtons
Module FvwmAuto 100 "Silent AutoRaiseFunction"
DestroyFunc AutoLowerFunction
AddToFunc AutoLowerFunction
+ I ThisWindow (FvwmButtons) Iconify on
# If FvwmButtons has focus when calling this function raise it
DestroyFunc AutoRaiseFunction
AddToFunc AutoRaiseFunction
+ I All (!Iconic, !Focused, FvwmButtons) Iconify on
+ I Current (Iconic, FvwmButtons) Iconify off
+ I Current (FvwmButtons) Raise

Unfortunately, it does not hide the the buttons window when the
pointer moves to the root window. While this works fine with the
shading version from the FAQ, it's nigh impossible to do right
with the iconifying version. If this is too annoying for you, try
shading to a corner instead of the whole bottom edge.
