The icon selection code needs some clean up. Especially, it's not
easy to disable icon pictures completely. There are two
possibilities:

 1) Explicitly set the Icon style of every application that annoys
    you:

      Style mozilla Icon non_existing_icon.xpm
      Style emacs Icon non_existing_icon.xpm

 2) Make a completely transparent xpm icon that is 1 pixel high
    and as wide as you like the icon titles to be displayed, then
    set

      Style ** my_icon.xpm
      Style * IconOverride

    To be safe, do this near the top of your .fvwm2rc and never
    issue another "Style * Icon" or "Style ** Icon" style again.
    They seem to interfere with each other, depending on the
    styles that were set in between.
