What you could try is creating a small blank xpm icon, say 10x1 pixels
and make all the pixels transparent. Call it blank.xpm or something similar
and then override Netscape's icons with a line like

Style "Netscape" Icon blank.xpm

in your .fvwm2rc.
Then when you restart you'll just have a little text box.

Good Luck

Martin.
