Ohhhh...so he could specify the geometry like:

*FvwmButtons: ButtonGeometry 68x68-0+0

...and then for the larger button, he could put:

*MailBox: (1x4, Swallow(UseOld,NoHints,Respawn) "gkrellm" \
                `Exec exec gkrellm`)

...and get rid of the other 68x68 geometry calls and it'll probably do
what he wants? Well, it'd be 68x272 instead of 252, but...close enough
for government work?
