Here is the patch I made to put a background pixmap or a transparent
background on an FvwmButtons bar. Anybody has a better name? :)
The new option is FvwmButtonsPixmap. You can use 
*FvwmButtonsPixmap <your_pixmap.xpm>
to put a background pixmap, or
*FvwmButtonsPixmap none 
to make the FvwmButtons background transparent (as with enlightment).
You can check this URL to see a (small) screen shot.

As I go on holidays, I won't reply to any mail until a week.
Happy Buttoning ;)
Lokh.
