FVWM: Buttonbar not appearing in fvwm2

[vik]

Any help would be much appreciated - here are the details -

vncserver version -
vnc/E4.4.2/vncserver

fvwm2 version -
fvwm2/2.5.17/bin/fvwm2

OS version -
Linux 2.6.16.60-0.58.1.1882.3.PTF.638363-smp (gcc 4.1.2 20070115)
em64t architecture

fvwm2 comes up fine, but the buttonbar at the bottom of the screen
( with the desktops etc ) has disappeared ! THis is obviously
important, since I need the multiple desktops, sigh.

Here's the relevant .fvwm2rc snippet -
################## FvwmButtons button-bar ################################

*FvwmButtonsRows 10
*FvwmButtonsBoxSize smart

Action 'Restart fvwm2')
# *FvwmButtons(Left, Icon Fplock.s.pm, Title(Side) 'Lock Screen', \

Any / all help would be much appreciated.. I also tried the following
smaller version but again nothing shows up...

###----->Buttons<-----

# xload move to site/fvwm2rc-modules

# vertical specifics here
*FvwmButtonsGeometry -1+1
*FvwmButtonsColumns 1
*FvwmPagerColumns 1

*FvwmButtons(1x2, Swallow(UseOld) "FvwmPager" 'FvwmPager 0 0')

Key F10 A C GotoPage 1 2

*FvwmButtons(Swallow(UseOld) "xload" 'Exec xload -hl red &')
*FvwmButtons(Swallow(UseOld) "xclock" 'Exec xclock -analog -padding 0 &')

Thanks much !
