I think I can help with the second part. I use this to turn on ICONBOX
on the fly, (without removing the "sytle icon" specifications:
AddToFunc ConfigIconBox "I" module FvwmIconBox
+ "I" Style "*" NoIcon
+ "I" Recapture
AddToMenu "Module-Popup" "Modules" Title
+ "IconBox" ConfigIconBox
...
(It is the order of execution of the style commands that is important.)
