I have similiar thing, but i also use FvwmIconMan. I have a two column
buttonbar, with a 3x4 pager swallowed at the two, then working down,
asclock and xload, netscape and xterm, followed by raise and lower,
resize and move, iconify and kill, all 1/3 the height of a normal
icon. Below that i've got a tiny xterm swallowed (I was forever
opening an xterm just to run some xapp, so i thought i'd have a tiny
one there instead). Finally xpostit and lock,restart,exit. This is
sticky, in the topleft. Botton right i have an iconmanager growing
upwards. I tend to prefer having any static 'clutter' on the left hand
of the screen, letting things (long xterms and especially xdvi) run
off the bottom and off to the right.
Why am i telling everybody this? well, i think its interesting to see
how people set their desktops out. I've seen a couple of pages with a
number of .fvwmrcs but most of them seem to be abit out of date.
Certainly they arent in the numbers that you see in other
windowmanagers (perhaps this is a good thing).
Also, i feel that users actually talking about how they use fvwm is a
good thing. User-pull and all that.

ps: .fvwm2rc available if anybody is interested
