Which path are you using? In order to use full colour pixmaps your pixmap
path must be set (the pixmap icons don't go in the IconPath). I mention
this because when I first saw it in FVWM it seemed slightly illogical.
There IS a reason of course but putting pixmaps in the IconPath won't
work.
So the PixmapPath should look like this:
PixmapPath /usr/X11/include/X11/pixmaps/:/usr/local/icons
Or wherever you keep your pixmaps.
BTW it's not really bad netiquette to use private email - most lists I've
seen, the replies go to both sender and list. Every so often I've seen
complaints, because this results in duplicate copies, but I doubt it will
change. Some people get annoyed when people ask for private email replies
on USENEt, which personally I've never understood, because USENET is a
heck of a lot less reliable than mailing lists.
Good luck
