Yes, I thought I was not asking clearly enough. I currently have 5
instances of iconman on my screen - each deals with a different type
of window. When the title of an xterm changes to "root_at_*" it moves
from one iconman to the other:
*FvwmIconMan*2*show title=root*
*FvwmIconMan*5*show class=XTerm class=NXTerm class=XWsh

guess it's not possible, too bad. :) Thanks for the response though.
