Thanks for the patch. I'll take a look at it, but at first glance I
doubt I'll include it verbatim. I have another patch that was sent to
me a while ago that changes the IconBox behavior that I have to look
over better as well. The two patches cover different, but related
things (Icon placment).

Instead of adding another sizeable field to the FvwmWindow structure
for the IconGrid (as you have done), what might be better would be for
me to merge some of the functionality of the two patches together,
minimizing memory usage and maximizing functionality. Like the
ability to make an IconBox area operate with a grid behavior.

Thanks,
Chuck
