What is it with people replying off-list?  I don't do FVWM
"""consultancy""".  *Please* keep this on list.

You're asking me to basically give you the answer, but I really can't
be arsed.  With a container, you basically have a separate FvwmButtons
instance inside FvwmButtons.  So, your container would be the button
to give you the "L" shape -- that is, something like this:

           | e |
| a | b | c |

(You'd to best to view that using a fixed-width font).  Basically,
button "c" would be where you'd define your container for buttons "b",
and "a".

Or, you could just produce something like this:

DestroyModuleConfig Foo:*
*Foo: Columns 2
*Foo:  Rows 2
*Foo: (1x1, ...)
*Foo: (1x1, ...)

FvwmButtons Foo -g some_location

... where that defines buttons "a" and "b" as a separate FvwmButtons
instance, slotted into place with a known geometry.

Or, you could also use  a panel.  Again, see "CREATING PANELS" section
in "man fvwmbuttons".

That's wrong, even for FVWM 2.4.X -- module commands are now in the form:

*Alias: Option value

...note the colon.

These options want separating with commas.
