Well, I tried, and I find I really really can't ;)
I made an empty 64x1 bitmap-file and made that my icon, but it looks rather
ugly, as fvwm draws a black line around it. It does do the trick for me,
but it looks bad. Prefer my old style of getting this to work, given that
I don't reboot my machine that often. Then again, that way I risk forgetting
about it and not realising, like, someone managed to su while I wasn't looking.
So I guess I'll have to either patch xconsole or fvwm2 in some way to behave
special for this problem. Yuck :) Any hints?
