FVWM: Button Box division

I am not subscribed to this mailing list, so apologies if the following
"feature" is already known:
This applies to fvwm2
FvwmButtons follows an algorithm to place icons of various size within the
button bar. This fails in some cases, e.g.:

*FvwmButtonsRows 2

*FvwmButtons(2x2, ...)
*FvwmButtons( <whatever> )
*FvwmButtons( <whatever> )
*FvwmButtons(3x2, ...)
*FvwmButtons(2x2, ...)

This totals to 16 units, and with 2 rows, FvwmButtons allocates space for 8
columns. Now when it fills the icons in, it places the 2 single-unit icons
NEXT to each other in 2 columns instead of OVER one another in 1 column.
Therefore at the end, the width is 1 column short for the last button.
Same for 3 single-unit buttons: all three next to each other.
It works all right if the single-unit buttons are moved to the end, but that
is not where I like to have them.

        Any suggestions to a solution, patch, etc. appreciated (preferably
via e-mail):
