I believe the problem you are having is with a long standing fvwm2
feature that iconifies windows onto the page that the window is mostly
on. (Actually, I wasn't aware the fvwm1 didn't do this also.) If you
keep your windows mostly on screen your icons should stay visible.

It looks to me like this is "fixed" in 2.3.5, but not in the 2.2.x
series. The only way you could get a "fix" is by using one of the
betas or waiting for 2.4.
