Yes, Swallow means to take a window and put it inside of FvwmButtons.
For example here is my FvwmButtons (it doesn't contain FvwmIconMan which
gives a list of running windows, but I just use WindowList for that).
Here is the config I use

I swallow FvwmPager inside of FvwmButtons along with many other apps
include scripts, xosview (monintors), and the system tray. I launch this
with
Module FvwmButtons SensorDock
I have attached a screenshot.
