If you use pixmaps for icons, the icon title will always be the same
width as the pixmap. If you use no pixmaps (i.e. something like
Style "xterm" Icon none.xpm) then you can fix the problem with
the following patch. Chuck said this will be included in the next release.
Apply the patch in the fvwm-2.0.43/ directory.
