Is this feature planned? If not, are you accepting patches for it? (I imagine
it's not very hard to do, so I might give it a stab)

Not quite. I don't like that, when I resize FvwmButtons, FvwmIconMan does not
adjust its overall size to fit within the Swallow area provided to it by
FvwmButtons. Ideally I would like the FvwmIconMan to vary the size of *its*
buttons, using the specified a desired ManagerGeometry, so that everything fits
within the designated FvwmButtons space.

BTW, I'm using FVWM 2.5.5.

Right. I'm looking instead for why "actual FvwmIconMan's size" is not
adjusting to reflect the space provided within FvwmButtons.
