yes ... make sure to start xload manually from .xsession ... you also
have to change the makefile to include SWALLOWS ... the pager might work
too ...  just know what the title of the window is and then add it ...

it doesn't work perfectly and frequently seems to crash the panel on
some windows (though this seems very consistent, so once you swallow the
windows you want it should work every time) ... I couldn't get my pager
to get swallowed but your millage may vary
