Hmm... can't seem to sort it, I put
Style "*" IconBox 0 1024 -280 -1
in my fvwm2rc, but icons still end up lower left corner. It's not a
biggy though.

Ah, figured it would be something I had done... or rather, the Red Hat
packagers, since I'm just tweaking the system.fvwm2rc. Thank you,
works like a dream now. (Come to think of it, I might have ripped this
config off a Debian system.fvwm2rc, oh well.)

Thank you very much.
