I don't see why your xeyes refuses to be swallowed st first, but
there are syntax errors in your config file (see below)

All the messages are sent to the X console.

You are trying to place all the buttons in the same slot, and the
slot is not even within the button bar. You want to place the
buttons at
1x1+0+0
1x1+0+1
1x1+0+2
...
But then, there seems to be a bug in the parsing of the Size
option and the geometry part is not understood by FvwbButtons, so
it does not hurt. I will fix this bug, but then you have to fix
the errors in your config file too. And you should separate
options with commas.
