FVWM: 2.5.1 under GNOME: Can't bind mouse buttons 1 and 3 on root window

I'm using FVWM 2.5.1 under GNOME on Red Hat 7.2, and I have the
following two mouse binding commands in my .fvwm2rc file:

        Mouse 1 R N Popup RootMenu Nop
        Mouse 3 R N WindowList OnlyIcons, UseIconName

But mouse button 1 on the root window is handled by Gnome (for selecting
desktop icons), and mouse button 3 on the root window pops up the Gnome
desktop menu. The FVWM commands shown above do not execute. This
happens regardless of which modifiers I specify -- GNOME gets all mouse
1 and mouse 3 events. I can bind mouse button 2 to an FVWM command
without a problem.

If I run FVWM without GNOME, I have no problem with those two bindings.

Is there way to get FVWM to handle those two mouse events? I read the
man page, but found only the "GnomeButton" command which does the
opposite of what I want (it tells FVWM to let GNOME handle a mouse
event).
