This should probably go on the fvwm user list, not fvwm-workers. :)

Not much experience with GNOME weirdness here. I think there's something
in the fvwm FAQ about this; not sure.

Probably. I only use NoPPosition for apps that are *really* annoying
about position (like Netscape). NoPPosition otherwise causes problems
with user geometry placement sometimes.

There is, in the FvwmButtons manpage, a treatise on the layout algorithm.

This is the root of the problem. Don't use '3x3'; 1x1 would be better
here. You also told FvwmButtons there would only be one row of buttons.

Here I would suggest 3x1 at best.
