Well, its a little confusing, but I believe its all explained in the
man pages. The orignal answer to this question was sort of correct,
but I don't think it directly addressed the users particular problem.
In a large nutshell:
You can name the icons FvwmIconBox will use 2 ways:
Style "xterm" icon xterm.xpm
*FvwmIconBox "xterm" xterm.xpm
When you use the first way, to get icons into the "FvwmIconBox"
instead of the "Style "*" IconBox -150 250 -1 -1" type iconbox,
you need to do something like:
Style "*" NoIcon
In fact, I don't normally use the FvwmIconBox, but to fool around with
it, I like:
AddToFunc ConfigIconBox "I" module FvwmIconBox
+ "I" Style "*" NoIcon
+ "I" Recapture
You can do individual 'Style "x" NoIcon's, but think the person with
the problem originally went the other way. Once you force everything
into the FvwmIconBox, you want to use FvwmIconBox's special notation
for "don't put this particular thing into the box", the dash "-".
This is in the man page:
*FvwmIconBox windowname bitmap-file
...
If bitmap-file is specified to be "-", the icon for a
window corresponding to windowname is not shown in the iconbox.

Hope this clears up any confusion.
