Ah, I see. You are using a 'feature' that works only by chance
and is not properly implemented. Although the syntax allows to
bind actions to buttons with a swallowed window. For mouse clicks
this only works on the relief of the button, not on the
application window itself (because the application gets the click,
not FvwmButtons). With key presses it only works if the
application window does not want keyboard input itself. If you
had an xterm instead of the xclock, the key press would go to the
xterm (I think).
