No, but my wording was a bit unclear. Let me rephrase it:


*FvwmButtons - whatever Swallow "XLoad" Exec xload -nolabel &
*FvwmButtons - whatever Swallow "XClock" Exec xclock&

What happened to me was, it executed and swallowed xload just fine,
executed xclock fine as well, but didn't swallow it. This was just
because I had another copy of xclock running. Thus, whenever you have a
copy of the program you want to swallow running, it won't swallow the
newly executed one, which is a bug (and it doesn't swallow the old one,
which is correct, unless you use "UseOld" option :-).
