(Thanks for the new Buttons, Jarl! It's great.)

Does anyone have a working example of a (mouse) action binding in
a swallowed button: I have the following in ".fvwm2rc"

---- Start of included text -----------------------8<--- cut here -------------
*FvwmButtons(Swallow(UseOld) "xload1" "Exec xload -font 6x10
-background PeachPuff2 -title xload1 -hl yellow -update 5 -scale
2 -geometry -1500-1500 &", Action 'Exec "top_at_clove" xterm -title
top_at_clove -e top')
---- End of included text -------------------------8<--- and here -------------

But the only way that I can run "top" is by pressing the return
key on the button (clicking with the mouse does nothing).

If instead I put

---- Start of included text -----------------------8<--- cut here -------------
*FvwmButtons(Swallow(UseOld) "xload1" "Exec xload -font 6x10
-background PeachPuff2 -title xload1 -hl yellow -update 5 -scale
2 -geometry -1500-1500 &", Action(Mouse 1) 'Exec "top_at_clove"
xterm -title top_at_clove -e top')
---- End of included text -------------------------8<--- and here -------------

Again nothing happens with mouse clicks, but FvwmButtons crashes
with some X error when return is pressed.


Also I don't understand why the examples of UseOld in the manual
all combine it with NoKill, when "NoKill" is the default anyway,
isn't it? Even with UseOld, is I restart fvwm2 a couple of
times, it seems to miss xload's, swisswatch regularly :-(
