Basic idea, FvwmButtons is the container. You can use it to hold the various 
parts of the taskbar you want. FvwmIconMan is the part that keeps track of 
running programs. I would first configure that, to act like the major part of 
the taskbar. After that you can add the start button and other things like 
clock/notifications by swalowing it into FvwmButtons.

I am sure there are good reasons for not keeping FvwmTaskBar but for me it is a 
shame. I think it's a cool feature. I've got it set up so it's transparent and 
i'm really happy with the look of it and the fact it's so easy to use.

FvwmButtons is great there's no doubt about that and i've achieved really nice 
results with it in the past - for me anyway - but, it is tricky to get the more 
advanced configuration right. I haven't yet looked at using it as a task bar 
though so not sure how tricky will be.
