FVWM: FvwmIconMan

Hi!

I have set up my desktop with two StaysOnTop windows: FvwmButtons and
FwvmIconMan. I use SmartPlacementIsReallySmart. New windows should
avoid overlapping with StaysOnTop windows and icons, that works very
well except for FwvmIconMan, that apparently is completely invisibel to
the SmartPlacement routine. Not only is it not avoided as a StaysOnTop
window, overlap with FvwmIconMan is not at all taken into account when
placing new windows. Can anybody tell me if I can change this? I have
appended the relevant (I hope) lines in my .fvwm2rc below.

Versions: fvwm 2.0.45, FvwmIconMan 0.9.8

Thank you!

Jakob
