FVWM: FvwmIconMan ?

I've been using IconMan pretty happily for a while now, but a friend
and I are now stymied by the same thing. We're both looking to run
separate IconMen to cover desk/page windows v. the rest. This is
supposed to be possible according to the man page and I've configured
IconMan correctly, I think. However, when I invoke IconMan I get my
first manager showing what it's supposed to show and the second
instance showing nothing except an FvwmIconMan button. I'm still
trying to figure out if IconMan is showing the other IconMan window or
whether that's a title button...

Anyway, is anyone doing this successfully? Does FvwmIconMan need to be
invoked in some special way when multiple IconMen are configured (e.g.
"Module FvwmIconMan 1"). This didn't seem to work... I can provide the
salient bits from my rcfile, but not until later (home machine). It
seems the relevant information is like so:

FvwmIconMan*nummanagers 2
FvwmIconMan*1*resolution page
FvwmIconMan*2*resolution global

It gets invoked with "Module FvwmIconMan" currently.

Finally, it seems that FvwmIconMan opens all windows it's configured
for when it's invoked. This is correct? It would be nice to have each
one able to be invoked separately, since ultimately I'm trying to
Swallow the IconMen into FvwmButtons... Works great for one IconMan,
but two's been quite the headache.

One last thing, I'm running RedHat Linux 4.0 with many many RPMs
upgraded, 2.0.30 kernel compiled by me, AcceleratedX 2.1 and
fvwm-2.0.46 also compiled by yours truly. Any insight would be greatly
appreciated.
