Aha! Bingo! Didier Nghia Le Tien also pointed out the same thing to me
but I didn't realize what he was talking about until now. I didn't know
you had to have an IconPath *and* a pixmap path. So it ended up being a
problem with the dotfile generator (which doesn't support PixmapPath
for some reason), not fvwm or me (well, inasmuch that I haven't yet read
the manpage from a-z, which make me unaware of these little details ;P).

Thanks Alexis and all the others who helped me out so quickly.
