At least for me, the Netscape title and icon strings always contain that
"Netscape: " prefix, so no can do.

I'm still pondering the suggestion that FvwmIconMan have different format
strings for different windows (even in the same manager), but that wouldn't
help much here. I really don't feel like integrating sed into FvwmIconMan
though.

How's about this: Long ago I originally envisioned that you could have the
strings right justified. Since for programs like Netscape (and xterm if you
have the cwd in the title/icon string), the most significant info is on the
right end of the title/icon strings, this seems like a good idea. I'll go
stick that in.

I'm currently in a major rewrite phase, and am getting near to the point where
I can release something. I'd like to get a release with my major changes out
in enough time to get some bug reports before fvwm2 is officially released, so
this may have to wait a bit.
