Thank you!!!!!!!! I had forgotten about this weirdness (probably
because I never experienced it before). My problems with the new
FvwmButtons were under Linux, X11R6 (XFree86 3.1.2), ELF, and 3.4*h*
of libXpm. I hunted around and found a 3.4c, recompiled everything
(to be safe)...{drum roll} and it works!!!!! (much grinning here)

This doesn't explain, of course, why .41 works fine with 3.4h, but for
now at least I have .42 and the new 'Buttons working. Ah, well,
something more to add to the TODO list?
