Yes.

The correct (obsolete) syntax of button lines is:

  *FvwmButtons <button title> <icon file> <action>

In your config lines:

> *FvwmButtons Primrose Exec /usr/local/X11/bin/xrsh primrose &
               ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
               title icon action

> *FvwmButtons Mimosa Exec "Mimosa" /usr/local/X11/bin/xrsh mimosa &
               ^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
               title icon action

The correct lines are:

  *FvwmButtons Primrose - Exec /usr/local/X11/bin/xrsh primrose &
  *FvwmButtons Mimosa - Exec "Mimosa" /usr/local/X11/bin/xrsh mimosa &
                       ^^^

Bye
