Not strictly true, there are some size increment hints that force the pager's size to be an integer multiple of the number of pages shown, so each page has the same number of pixels. So there were already some restrictions on the sizes it could be. > 3) It makes it virtually impossible to have the pager fill the whole > allocated area inside FvwmButtons.

(See attached patch.) This can currently be disabled by proving an initial Geometry (though it needs to be bigger than some minimum size I recall like 100x100) then FvwmButtons will resize to fit without preserving aspect ratio. At the time we chose to have it be disabled via just setting a geometry string vs having an additional option to turn preserving aspect ratio on/off. I would rather have an option to allow users to toggle this vs just disable it. jaimos
