Assuming your MUA didn't wrap this, your PipeRead should be all on one line.

Likewise here -- this *has* to be on one line, otherwise your PlaceWindow
function will tell you you're missing a field.

This isn't right either, because it's likely PlaceWindow won't get run at
the right time, you really mean:
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmButtons
+ I Wait FvwmButtons
+ I Next (FvwmButtons) PlaceWindow
Note here two things as well (in no particular order):
1. Using an alias of FvwmButtons here is disasterous, because *all*
instances of FvwmButtons would get shifted to some predefined location --
use a better alias name for your FvwmButtons.
2. Use FVWM version 2.5.30, and you can forget the above in lieu of:
Style some_better_fvwmbuttons_name InitialMapCommand PlaceWindow
Finally (and it is a little bit too early here for me), are you sure your
maths is correct? Looks a bit wonky to me.
