FVWM: Bad Icon bitmap depth

Hello,

I cannot seem to figure this out so here is my plaintive cry for help:

How do I get fvwm to support bitmaps with a depth of 24? Every time that I
minimize an application w/such an icon(such as mozilla), fvwm spits out
the following error:

[FVWM][GetIconBitmap]: <<ERROR>> Window '<some window>' has a bad icon
bitmap depth 24(should be 1 or 8)! Ignoring icon bitmap.

I've also tried experimenting w/the -I option setting the visual-id but
that appears not to have made a difference...

It appears that in a brief, inexperienced perusal of the source code that
this value is determined by something in XWMHints... I can't seem to find
any information other than a man page on XWMHints.

Any help would be appreciated.

Some pertinent information:

Solaris 8

Here is the vis-id's I attempted to use:

    visual id: 0x2d
