Escape handling seems to have changed in handling Actions in FvwmButtons.
Previously, the following worked:

   *FvwmButtons(Icon mini-mail.xpm, Action 'Exec gnudoit \(vm\)')

Now, I have to escape the back-slashes as well, as below:

   *FvwmButtons(Icon mini-mail.xpm, Action "Exec gnudoit \\(vm\\)')

It's just a minor inconsistency, since the following commands all work
unchanged:

  Mouse 2 R       C       Exec gnudoit \(vm\)
  Mouse 2 R       S       Exec gnudoit \(vm-mail\)
  Mouse 2 R       M       Exec gnudoit \(vm-sent\)    

Perhaps those commands should never have worked without escaping!
