You can't. Well, at least not untils you fetch the latest
copy from CVS. I have added an option to the IconBox style. Now
you can say
Style * IconBox None
To disable the default icon box.

This should work. Please post your config file so we can see
what's wrong.

Right now you don't have detailed control over the placement
policy other than using one of the predefined options. In the
future we will probably add much more flexibility in window
placement. However, you could place your icons on a lower
layer:
AddToFunc my_iconify
+ I Iconify on
+ I Layer 1
AddToFunc my_deiconify
+ I Layer default
+ I Iconify off
Then use my_(de)iconify everywhere to (de)iconify your windows.
With the modification I made to the MinOverlapPercentPlacement
style, windows/icons on lower layers will be covered more often
than windows/icons above them. You will need the current
source code, though.

Yes. SmartPlacement has always worked this way. New windows are
always placed on a specific page of the desktop. This is normally
the current page unless other options override that.
