FvwmButtons itself does not have such functionality (FvwmTaskBar has), but with some fvwm command programming you may try to emulate this. Start FvwmButtons half visible (or shaded) and then use Move (or WindowShade) to make it fully visible or hide it again. In 2.5.x you may shade a window to any direction, even to its right-down corner point or to its left border. In 2.5.x there is a new command EdgeCommand, so you may execute something when you enter 1 or 2 pixels near one or another screen edge, configurable. You may also need to listen to LEAVE_WINDOW (and optionally ENTER_WINDOW if you prefer it over EdgeCommand) event to collapse FvwmButtons again. Just be aware that events using FvwmEvent, especially such frequent as ENTER_WINDOW/LEAVE_WINDOW, may cause lock-ups in some cases.
