I had a similar problem; not with icons, as I only use FvwmIconMan, but I have a FvwmButtons panel at the right edge of the screen which needs to be repositioned. They way I handle it currently is -- outside of FVWM. I have a FIFO open on the nxagent log where I read its 'screen changed' message and subsequently restart the FvwmButtons module with FvwmCommand. That's far from perfect, of course. I thought maybe it would be an option to have the user define a ScreenResizeFunc or something like that, or maybe just feed the event into FvwmEvent.
