I just want something like the MWM flavor of an enclosed Icon box. I
find that icons on the root window are anoying and hard to deal with
(windows end up on top of important icons and so on). If the icons are
in a scrolled window of their own, they are nicely collected someplace
I can always get to, no matter what else is going on. FvwmIconBox
filled that partitular nitch back when I migrated from DECWindows
(DEC's branded X11/Motif under VAX/VMS on VAXStations & Ultrix on
DECStations) to FVWM (Linux). Does FvwmIconMan provide an enclosed
Icon box much like MWM's Icon box?

I have an *old* .fvwmrc file, much hacked over, going back to FVWM
1.<mumble>. It is probably full of old and out-of-date cruft that I
haven't bothered to clean up ("if it ain't broke, don't fix it" --
unless something fails to work or FVWM fails to start, I'll probably
leave it alone).
