no, no, no! there's no patching of fvwm necessary to override most
builtin icons; all you have to do (except for aggressive apps such as
exmh) is (for example):
Style "Netscape" Icon "3d/netscape.xpm"
Style "xv" Icon "3d/xv-color.xpm"
then fvwm magically uses the icon you specify instead of the one
provided by the app.

: Here's what I did:
:
: edit your fvwm/icon.c
:
: Remove the lines which check for an application providing its own pixmap,
: and an application providing its own icon window. Just leave in the lines
: which say to check for a user-supplied (in .fvwm2rc) pixmap.
:
: What happens now is that apps which provide their own pixmaps (e.g. XV)
: get ignored. Apps which don't provide any icons (e.g. xterm) are
: unaffected. Then you have to put something like
:
: Style "*" default_icon.xpm
:
: in your .fvwm2rc (provide one for each app..)
:
: It sucks, I know, that's why I don't use this solution, but it does work.
