All I managed to do is launch an application from an "xload button" by
selecting fwvm buttons and pressing the Enter key. I don't know it I'm
corect, but xload handles mouse click's itself while it does not handle
keypresses, so thay can be handled by fvwm.

Here is the code from my .fvwm2rc:

*FvwmButtons(3x2, Swallow XLoad 'Exec xload -bg \\\#667788 -nolabel &', \
             Action "Exec xosview &")

Have fun,
alex.
