Actually, this used to be the way it worked. I have three Icon
managers defined in my .fvwm2rc and have had it this way for a long
time over several different versions of fvwm2. With the newer
versions, the icon manager will display a blank placeholder if there
are no windows that correspond to that manager. Older versions simply
didn't appear in that case.
For example,
*FvwmIconMan*nummanagers 3
*FvwmIconMan*1*title "Cadence DFII Windows"
*FvwmIconMan*1*buttongeometry 150x0
*FvwmIconMan*1*managergeometry 1x0-0+500
*FvwmIconMan*1*show resource=Cadence* \
resource=icfb resource=dockit resource=LSW \
resource=opus resource=cdsLibManager
If I'm running cadence, then I get several items in icon manager 1 as
expected. Now, however, when I'm not running Cadence, I get a single
entry in the icon manager with the title "Cadence DFII Windows" in it.
It seems to me that this is something that was a "fix" in the newer
revisions. However, I prefered it the old way.
Sorry, I can't remember the specific version numbers -- 1.4 maybe?
