Justin, I've been "swallowing" dclock for a long time now. Here's
the line in my .fvwm2rc file to do it:

*FvwmButtons - whatever Swallow "dclock" Exec dclock -fn -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-* -14-* -noscroll -date "%M %d" -seconds -bw 0 -noalarm -bg seashell3 -fg DarkSlat eGray &

You can probably shorten that quite a bit and still have it work.
I screw around with fonts because I don't see too well and need
bold lettering everywhere I can get it. :-\

or should that be 8-\ ?
since I _do_ wear glasses ;-)
