Look at the logic in icons.c and you'll see why nothing overrides
the application's pixmap suggestion. The code looks first for a bitmap
or pixmap specified in .fvwm2rc. If the window is still of zero size after
that it tries the app's IconWindowHint, then the IconPixmapHint.
However, here's a small patch I did some time ago that can override these
hints by saying, e.g.
Style "Netscape*" Icon NoPixmap

Hope that does what you want.
