Just a remark on the syntax:

The same can be achieved with

  All iconify on

without fiddling with contitions. For clarity of the man page
contitions should be placed in parentheses, but the old syntax
with square brackets is still supported:

  All (!iconic) iconify on

The second version saves a few CPU cycles. Although it seems
superfluous, adding the 'on' to the Iconify command makes it a
little more fault tolerant. Iconifying windows is an asynchronous
operation between X server and fvwm and in very rare situations
both disagree about the state of the window for a split second.
So a window that was just iconified might be deiconified with a
plain "Iconify" (which is a toggle) but not with "Iconify on".
