Unfortunately, I think it can't be done in the obvious (and most
desireable) way because it would be hard to distinguish when the mouse
click is supposed to do a FvwmButtons action and when it should be
passed to the swallowed app. For example, two of the things I have
FvwmButtons swallow, xbuffy and FvwmPager, both require that mouse
clicks be passed to them or they won't operate properly, and if I
click in the xbuffy to view the headers in a mailbox, which I often do
to see if the mail is important, then I wouldn't want any other
assigned FvwmButton action to happen.
What can work, though not quite as visually pleasing as I suspect
you'd like, is to put the swallowing button inside a container and
assign the action to the container. If you set the padding to
something >0 in the container, clicking in the pad area will perform
your defined click action. I didn't have any real use for it, but I
tried the following for grins and when I clicked in the padding to the
left of the xbuffy and the right of the pager, sure enough an xterm
was launched:
*FvwmButtons(26x1, Frame 0, Padding 4 0, \
Action `Exec "XTerm" xcmd xterm`, \
Container(Frame 1, Padding 0 0 Rows 1))
*FvwmButtons(Swallow(Kill) XBuffy "Exec xcmd xbuffy")
*FvwmButtons(Swallow(Kill) FvwmPager "Module FvwmPager 0 3")
*FvwmButtons(End)
Hope this helps,
