scotth_at_netstar.com sent me what I believe is a fairly cogent
explanation. Once you have your iconboxes defined (see below), you can
specify which type of app goes into which iconbox thusly (e.g.):
Style "*" DecorateTransient,IconBox 0 0 -1 70
Style "XTerm" IconBox 0 -70 -1 -1
With these specifications, xterm icons go into iconbox {0 -70 -1 -1},
and all other icons go into iconbox {0 0 -1 70}. For me, this puts most
of the icons along the top, and xterms go in along the bottom, both from
left to right.

Basically you define the upper left corner and the lower right
corner of the iconbox.
Iconbox 100 200 300 400
The upper left corner is 100 pixels in from the left side of the
screen, 200 pixels down from the top of the screen. The lower
right corner is 300 pixels in from the left side of the screen,
400 pixels down from the top of the screen.

A _at_ 100,200

Assume a screen size of 1024x768.
Iconbox 0 0 50 -1
Iconbox 50 -51 -1 -1

A _at_ 0,0
B _at_ 50,767 (768 + (-1))
C _at_ 50,717 (768 + (-51))
D _at_ 1023,767 (1024 + (-1), 768 + (-1)) == bottom right corner of the screen.
This would define the two regions you desire.
