Maybe you should repost the config you are using.
The one from a few days ago seems to be full of problems.
When fvwm read this in, there were probably a load of error
messages being printed on Fvwm's stderr.
You should strive to eliminate all errors too.
Heres your config from a few days ago with some notes:
> #Test Buttonbar
Always start with:
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmButtons:*
that way if you re-read the config its always clean.
> *FvwmButtonsGeometry 800x100-1-1
Use the newer format with the colon:
*FvwmButtons: Geometry 800x100-1-1
its easier to read.
> *FvwmButtonsButtonGeometry 32x32
> #*FvwmButtonsBoxSize dumb
Remove all commented out lines, its easier for us to read.
> *FvwmButtonsBack bisque3
> *FvwmButtonsRows3
The space before the 3 is missing.
> *FvwmButtonsColumns 24
> #*FvwmButtons(Frame 2 Padding 0 0 Container(Rows 3
> Columns 10 Frame 1 \
> Padding 10
> 0))
This looks like its meant to be a continued line, but the
first line is commented out. The remaining lines should be causing errors.
> #*FvwmButtons(3x2 Frame 2 Swallow "FvwmIconBox"
> "Module FvwmIconBox")
same here.
> *FvwmButtons(6x2 Swallow "FvwmIconMan" "Module
> FvwmIconMan")
Continued lines need a backslash...see more below.
> *FvwmButtons(3x2 Swallow(UseOld) "FvwmPager" "Module
> FvwmPager 0 0")
> *FvwmButtons(2x2 Frame 2 Swallow(UseOld) "wmmp3" `Exec

> #*FvwmButtons(1x2 Frame 0 Container(Rows 2 Columns 2

> *FvwmButtons(2x2 Swallow(UseOld,NoHints,Respawn)

> *FvwmButtons(End)
