Hmm, this sounds strange. I've played some more with it (both on SunOS and
Linux) and the problem remains: On the rightmost and bottom buttons the
2-pixel wide "3D-frame" is truncated to 1 pixel, always. As if the mapped
window is 1 pixel to small both ways.
This is 2.0.38 and though I believe nothing's changed I'll see if it gets
better when I compile 2.0.40.

I didn't know what to call it, but it's the... background, or rather the
hardcoded _framework_ (that's it) which is way to dominant for my tender
layout :-)

Not really. I'm using 16x16 icons for this, and an icon in my buttonbar is
64x38, som when I let the FvwmIconBox be 4 buttons wide, it easily fits
atleast 16 icons and a scrollbar, with a total geometry of 286x42.
Provided I get rid of those titles. I'll look to it if I have success
hacking the buttonbar.

Thanks for the feedback,
