You haven't shown us your icon box definition. If the definition of
the icon box is faulty fvwm2 just ignores the definition and places
icons where it likes, as you describe.

The definition must specify the upper right corner, then the lower
left. Without the patch I've submitted, "-0" won't work, use "-1"
instead.

If you like the lower right hand side of the screen, here's the one I
use:

Style "*" IconBox -80 240 -1 -1

Heres my config for the IconBox, it works, but I normally use the
builtin "Style Iconbox".

This is in the "Modules" menu:

+ "%mini.iconify.xpm%I&conBox" ConfigIconBox

AddToFunc ConfigIconBox "I" module FvwmIconBox
+ "I" Style "*" NoIcon
+ "I" Recapture

# Things not to put in the Icon Box:
*FvwmIconBox "*clock*" -
*FvwmIconBox "*XSysStats*" -

*FvwmIconBoxGeometry 2x6-1-1
*FvwmIconBoxMaxIconSize 72x64
*FvwmIconBoxFont 9x15bold
*FvwmIconBoxPlacement Top Left
# hidden scrollbar:
