Hi,
I was advised to foward this question to the mailing list in case anyone
out there has any other ideas concerning it...

Originally I tried something like:

*FvwmButtonsGeometry 1030x32+0+1
*FvwmButtonsColumns 27
*FvwmButtonsFont -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
*FvwmButtonsFore Black
*FvwmButtonsBack LightSlateGray
#*FvwmButtons (2x1, Icon mini-exp.xpm, Action 'PopUp "Start" Start')
*FvwmButtons (25x1, Swallow "FvwmWinList" `FvwmWinList`)
#*FvwmButtons (2x1) - whatever Swallow "xclock" xclock
-digital -bg LightSlateGray -padding 0 &

*FvwmWinListBack LightSlateGray
*FvwmWinListFore Black
*FvwmWinListFont -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
*FvwmWinListAction Click1 Iconify -1, Raise
*FvwmWinListAction Click2 Iconify
*FvwmWinListAction Click3 Popup "Window Ops"
*FvwmWinListUseSkipList
*FvwmWinListUseIconNames
*FvwmWinListGeometry +10

...but that didn't work; buttons merely crashed out while the winlist
process remained but disappeared also.
Any help would be *much* appreciated!!!

Thanks,
NIck
