Yes, you can do something like that
*FvwmNetHints: MyStrut left right top bottom
Where left, right, top and bottom are positive or
null integer (pixels) which defined 4 bands:
One on the left of your screen of width left
One on the right of your screen of width right
One on the top of your screen of height top
One on the bottom of your screen of height bottom
Then, if you replace the fvwm Maximize command by the FvwmNetHints
one (SendToModule FvwmNetHints Maximize [options]), when you maximize
it is assumed that your screen is your real screen minus the 4 bands,
the so called "Working Area".
You may also use the experimental option:
*FvwmNetHints: UseWorkingAreaPlacement True
which causes new windows to be placed again to respect
the "Working Area" (you should not use any manual placement).

version 0.3 is on the road :o)
