Thank you for clearifying (sp?) this. While I didn't intent to run to copies of the
xclock, I just happend to run an xclock while I was modifying my .fvwm2rc and
experienced, that the swallow command wouldn't work as expected. After finding this
bug (btw. it exsists on SunOS, X11R6 also, just installed and tested it :-), I think
that it _is_ reasonable to have two copies of a program running, one in the button
bar, and one not, although I don't intend to. What's more important, though, is that
new users probably won't spend hours to find the cause why swallow doesn't work as
expected, as I did.
