seems like different parsing strategies/no compiled in defaults for
IconBox.
I don't like compiled in paths, since you've got to recompile each tool, as
you reorganize directory trees, or change mountings.
system.fvwmrc should be the place for this info.
But at least it should be consistent.

what became of the icon-tree idea?
(automatically adding prefixes & postfixes like
name prefix/postfix path prefix
mini- mini/
.xpm xpm/
.xbm xbm/
etc.)
