FvwmButtons, combined with FvwmIconMan, makes a GREAT task bar. Here
are the relevant parts of my configuration files. Please note that
this is hardcoded to my screen size of 1280x1024 -- make changes where
appropriate.

*** end of configuration ***
The tricky part is the three-part FvwmButtons configuration. The
first part is the Start Menu. The second part is the IconMan task
bar. The third part is a "system tray" that launches some desired
applications.
If you understand Fvwm configuration, you should be able to figure out
what my various menus, functions, and programs do.
