Style "*" IconBox l t r b

Specifies a region in which to place icons where l, t, r & b are numbers for the
left, top, right & bottom coordinates of the region respectively. Unfortunately
the icons are placed from left to right and then top to bottom (like
"*iconPlacement: left top" placement in mwm) and there is no way to change it.

The IconBox style could be changed such that l, t, r & b become x1, y1, x2 & y2
and icon placement could begin at the corner specified by x1, y1 but it would
need an extra parameter to tell it which way to go (vertical or horizontal).

Cheers,
Tim Phipps.
