FVWM: Icon Placement
Dear Fvwm-list, What is the best way to coerce applications to always iconify to the same region of the desktop? I mean that for any application, I'd like them to (for example) iconify to the right side of the screen between my clock and my system monitor; instead they tend to go to the upper-left corner, which is where I put my FvwmButtons panel.

Look at the IconBox style command, along with IconFill and optionally IconGrid. Then apply it to specific window classes: Style Emacs IconBox XxY, IconFill l r For instance. -- Thomas Adam
