I don't see how -- it still only applies to a specific group of windows
(or a specific window, depending on the style used.)

You can do this with FvwmEvent -- although currently you can't turn the
stipples off.

Do you?  An icon is just another window -- giving it its own colorset
makes sense to me.

Maybe -- I just think it adds too much verbosity.  I'd much rather more
work was done to look into the following idiom:

Style (name=foo, class=Foo) Stick

... Which currently has its own branch in the FVWM CVS, but obviously
breaks any compatibility with the way current style lines are parsed.
The above is something I'd prefer to see, above and beyond changing the
style states for different windows.
