} I tried something like this :

} % echo .scwm/(chan*|**/scwmrc*)
Directory separators can't be used inside parentheses. Parenthesized
patterns match within one level of file hierarchy only. (The '/' may
still be useful when matching against strings, as in a `case' label, but
doesn't work when globbing.)
Since ** matches in the current directory as well as in subdirectories,
what you really wanted was
% echo .scwm/**/(chan*|scwmrc*)
Or perhaps
% echo .scwm/{chan*,**/scwmrc*}
Or maybe (if you have extendedglob set)
% echo .scwm/**/(chan*|scwmrc*)~*/*/chan*
Where the trailing bit with the tilde excludes files that match chan* in
subdirectories.
