I have the same problem with the new FvwmButtons that Justin has. It starts up
the Swallowed modules, but then does nothing. I see no error messages
anywhere and there's no "FvwmButtons" process running, according to "ps".
I've sent emails to the mailing list about this problem before, when Jarl first
released his new "FvwmButtons", and never got any response.

Thinking it might be something in my configuration, I tried the sample
configuration straight out of the new Fvwmbuttons.man man page. It did the
exact same thing. It started the FvwmPager, and then did nothing.

With all the neat new features I've been hearing about, I'd really like to
try out the new FvwmButtons. I hope someone can help me figure out this
problem soon....
