man FvwmButtons

       To use FvwmButtons with several different configurations,
       you can invoke FvwmButtons with an optional parameter,
       which it will use as its name instead (e.g "Module Fvwm­
       Buttons SomeButtons"). SomeButtons will then read only
       the lines in the configuration file starting with "*Some­
       Buttons", and not the lines belonging to FvwmButtons.

       You can also specify an optional configuration file to use
       instead of the default fvwm configuration file, by giving
       a second argument which is a filename. This will override
       the setting "*FvwmButtonsFile", see below.
