I've been using xdaliclock for some time, but have a slight problem where if
I restart fvwm, causing xdaliclock to be killed and restarted, sometimes
it won't restart, and I'll have to manually start one. It spits out this
error:

X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request: 63 (X_CopyPlane)
  Resource id in failed request: 0x2000007
  Serial number of failed request: 8066
  Current serial number in output stream: 8084

I know that I should just figure out the FvwmButtons command that causes a
swallowed program to be regurgitated and reswallowed during a restart, but
it doens't happen often enough to cause me to be motivated. I'm just
curious if anyone else has seen this.
