Not planned, but feel free to submit patches. Although at this point you
should convince developers that your changes are needed for 2.6.0 and do
the testing thoroughly.

I suppose this is because the button size (at least height) is fixed and
is not changed dynamically. If you think that there is a better behaviour
when no ButtonGeometry is configured, you may patch it. This could be done
as a new option, because the current behaviour is useful.
I think that in any case (fixed button size or not) FvwmIconMan should
define size hints, so there would be no gaps, at least when not swallowed.
