This is in the manual but under the misleading heading of IconBox in
the Style commands. In my .fvwmrc I have the following as part of my
global style definition..

Style "*" IconBox +0 +150 +200 +750

This specifies that all icons go in a region of the screen from 0,150
at top-left to 200,750 at bottom-right. However, despite being called
IconBox there is no box, this just defines an invisible boundary. The
icons fill up from left to right by default and as far as I know
there's no way to change this.
