Actually there is one more condition (a feature or a bug).

If you have the following line (without UseOld):

  *FvwmButtons: (Swallow "xload" `Exec xload -fn fixed`)

and a window matching "xload" already exists when you start FvwmButtons,
you end up with 2 xload windows, none is swallowed. The only relable
way currently to swallow something new is:

  *FvwmButtons: (Swallow "xload" `StartApp "xload" "xload -fn fixed"`)

  AddToFunc StartApp
  + I All ("$0") Close
  + I Exec $1
