Here's what I did:
edit your fvwm/icon.c
Remove the lines which check for an application providing its own pixmap,
and an application providing its own icon window. Just leave in the lines
which say to check for a user-supplied (in .fvwm2rc) pixmap.
What happens now is that apps which provide their own pixmaps (e.g. XV)
get ignored. Apps which don't provide any icons (e.g. xterm) are
unaffected. Then you have to put something like
Style "*" default_icon.xpm
in your .fvwm2rc (provide one for each app..)
It sucks, I know, that's why I don't use this solution, but it does work.
