        A bit more inof here. First the task *is* runining, I see it wiht ps.
        Second, FvwmButtons *is* reserving spce for these, just nothing is
        appearing in them. The confusion here was that I had an odd number of
        buttons defined, so i was used to seeing a blank button. The conversion
        script removed 1 button completly, therefore I now have an even number
        of buttons, and should have no blanks.
