I had a similar problem which turned out to be bad syntax in the Exec
expression. This works for me:

*FvwmButtons - whatever  Swallow "oclock" Exec oclock
*FvwmButtons - whatever  Swallow "xbiff" Exec xbiff -geometry -0-0
*FvwmButtons TermWindow xterm.xpm Exec "" xterm -title "$HOSTNAME" -n "$HOSTNAME"
