I've never heard of the "TitleIcon" command. What version of fvwm are
you using? That could well be your problem. Have you looked at the
error log fvwm2 prints to see if there's a syntax error shown here?

Perhaps you mean "MiniIcon"? Check the fvwm2 man page.

If I understand you correctly, you should be able to create a specific
style for netscape windows and specify a different placement scheme for
them:

  Style "Netscape" <something else>

and that will override the "*" style.
