I think what you've got there is fvwm2.2.4.
When Suse built fvwm2 they should have built-in the path to
where all the icons are. If they did, you don't have to worry
about the path to the icons.
Both PixmapPath and IconPath are obsolete, you should use
the ImagePath command.
Is this what you want?
PipeRead 'print -n "ImagePath "; for i in `find /suse/icons` ;\
do print -n "$i:" ; done; print "+"'
