This does not work either. If a pager *does* appear that's because it
is started somewhere else in your config file.

This is just the label. ------------------------------|

The correct syntax of the Swallow commands is:

  Swallow(options) Label Command

I.e. in above line the command part is missing, i.e. nothing is executed.
If you would start xload manually it would be swallowed into the button bar.

I believe what you see is simply an empty button that looks pressed in.
The correct line is:

*DebianFvwmButtons(2x1, Swallow(UseOld,NoKill) "xload" 'Exec xload')
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^

The command that FvwmButtons will run -----------------------|
