Actually, it appears I do. I had just been trying the clock since I
thought it would be easy. But trying to swallow FvwmIconMan, again
copying from my linux setup, doesn't work either. Buttons are allocated
at the right size, but nothing shows up. oclock doesn't work either.

There are a couple of other weird things going on. A couple of the
xpm icons I use for the buttons don't work. They just don't show up,
even though the button works. I've got a dozen other icons that
do show up. I don't think it's a colormap problem since one of the
icons is greyscale, and if I commment out all of the buttons except that
one it still doesn't show up. Shows up on my other computers though.

None of this is a huge deal, I just tend to spend time (too much time ;-)
tweaking my fvwm set up, and was curious about why some stuff worked on one
system and not the other.
