With this config (ok, I used the alias name FvwmButtons-New so it does not
affect my other FvwmButtons aliases) I get a 500x200 window as requested.

The Geometry line is ignored if there is ButtonGeometry. Specify position:

  *FvwmButtons: ButtonGeometry 100x100+0-0

I don't know how it became 50x20 for you. Do you have an additional line
like "*FvwmButtons: ButtonGeometry 10x10" somewhere?

I suggest you to create a minimal fvwm2rc file that only has the sample
above, this will give you correct 5x2 buttons (100x100 each). Then try to
find the problem in your current config. Or come back with more info.

Regards,
Mikhael.
