Yes, it is. The Titlebar (as it is called in Fvwm) allows for one to
define upto ten buttons. They're arranged like this:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 3 5 7 9 Title 0 8 6 4 2 |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------| |
So in your decor (see AddToDecor in the manpage), you would only want to
define buttons 1,3 and 2. Something like this:
+ AddButtonStyle 1 Vector 5 25x40_at_1 25x60_at_1 75x60_at_0 75x40_at_0 25x40_at_1
+ AddButtonStyle 3 Vector 4 50x25_at_1 75x75_at_0 25x75_at_0 50x25_at_1
+ AddButtonStyle 2 Vector 4 50x75_at_1 25x25_at_1 75x25_at_1 50x75_at_0
Of course, the above is only an example -- the vector images won't match
the functionality you want for the buttons. Furthermore, for those
buttons to appear in the titlebar, you will need to ensure that you bind
them to actions (say a mouse). The following lines would achieve that:
# for the title bar buttons:
Mouse 0 1 A FuncFvwmMaximize
Mouse 0 3 A FuncFvwmMinimise
Mouse 0 2 A Close
This, this says that any button clicked on the buttons defined on the
window, would invoke either one of those actions, depending on the
button pressed in the titlebar.

Yes. If you're using 2.5.X, see "EwmhBaseStruts" in the man page.
