        I am trying to convert my existing fvwmrc file to use with fvwm. I have
        several questions, but let's deal with them one at a time.

        The existing fvwmrc file puts xload and xclock into the button men u
        bar using commands like this :

        *FvwmButtons - whatever Swallow "xload" Exec xload -bg
        \#908090 -geomet
        ry -1500-1500

        These don't seem to be working under fvwm2. I don't think it is even
        reserving space for these buttons.

        What am I doing wrong here ?

        Second, I would like to proprocess my fvwm2rc file with M4 like fvwm
        did. The man page says to start fvwm2 like this to make this happen.


        /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 -f "FvwmM4 .fvwm2rc" &

        But when I do this I get some &really* strange results. My fvwm2rc file
        is basicly just my fvwmrc file run thorught the gawk conversion script.
        Should I do something different here?

        Third how can I simulate the "clamp: icon functionality from fvwm in
        fvwmrc2?

        Thanks for your help here.
