This is a pretty common question, its easy to overlook. It may seem
counterintuitive, but icons will only go into FvwmIconBox when they
are associated with "styles" that have the "NoIcon" attribute.

Something like:

Style "*" Icon myicon.xpm, NoIcon


It was years ago, but once again, I suggest this change to the
"system.fvwmrc" that is distributed with fvwm2:

Around line 192:
OLD:
+ "IconBox" Module FvwmIconBox
NEW:
+ "IconBox" ConfigFvwmIconBox

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

(This might help to make FvwmIconBox work out-of-the-box.)
