Yes. use a line like
Style "*" IconBox +foo +bar +blah +yackety

(look in fvwm man page for parameters).

Along these same lines I've got a question (and I'm betting on a no answer).

I like having the styles for each window in a central place for each
window. But if I use FvwmIconBox I have to comment out all the global
style "blah" Icon some.xpm

and add the the same thing below
*FvwmIconBox "blah" some.xpm

Is there any way to get the FvwmIconBox module to grab the icon setting
from the fvwm style lines? And is there any way to tell fvwm to not
display icons even when there are Icon style parameters?

I've looked but haven't found.

thanks
jim
