You solved my problem: I configured and compiled fvwm more than a month ago. By that time I did not pay attention to the output of ./configure and probably it was without the xpm support. My system changed since then, I installed many things and it seems, also the xpm libraries, but I did not remember that (I am a Linux beginner so sometimes I do strange things). Recently that I finally decided to fix the fvwm icons problem, I re-run the ./configure to find out that I had the xpm support libraries, but I did not re-run make install. Now I cleaned and reinstalled all fvwm and all is fine, I have my icons! I good lesson for me! thank you Jan -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
