Yes, if someone codes it. Since this would entail a whole
lot of code to be useful I decided for now not to spend
more time on this before 2.4. Since the main benefit of the
panels is the sliding animation and that they are placed relative
to the button bar I don't see why you would need a panel here.
You can simply have a button that opens and closes your pager:
*FvwmButtons(Name pager, Action ToggleFvwmPager)
AddToFunc ToggleFvwmPager
+ I None (FvwmPager) Module FvwmPager
+ I Next (FvwmPager) Close
Then you can place the pager whereever you want with the
'FvwmPagerGeometry' option. Perhaps I will code some class
of 'toggle' button that does exactly this some day.

I think you can tell the icon manager the direction in which
it should grow. FvwmButtons doesn't care about the size of
the panel windows.
