Is it the 'system.fvwm2rc' file you have changed? And not the one in
root's home directory. (maybe a stupid question of me...)

Yes, you can assign a standard icon with:
Style * some_icon.xpm
this gives apps that don't supply icon the icon some_icon.xpm

Yes, by using the IconBox style
for example:
Style "*" IconBox $[vp.width]x80+0-0
defines a box at the bottom of the screen 80 pixels high and the screens
width to place icons in. The icons will be placed from left to right,
don't know how to change this. This box is not visible on the screen, it's
only an imaginary box used to place icons. This is probably what you want.
