*FvwmButtons Netscape nscape.xpm Exec "Netscape" netscape -geometry 621x700+0+0
*FvwmButtons command rterm.xpm Exec "XTerm" xterm -ut -rv -title EnglishTerminal&
I have these settings, and I think they seem to work.
The "Application name" part after Exec seems to be important.
If you don't get it right, the button will look pressed all the time.
I don't know what fvwm95 looks at for buttons, but I guess it is
the window title, or something else, of the executed application.
