Some programs set their own icon(s). You can see them with the xprop
program: _NET_WM_ICON is displayed as a sort of ascii-art.
For programs that don't specify their own icon, you can give a default
with UnknownIcon "xpm:unknown1.xpm". There is also ForceIcons, to
override client-supplied pixmaps with those given in Icons{}, but this
does not override _NET_WM_ICON icons if there is nothing in Icons{}.
But since the names in Icons{} are regular expressions, you should be
able to just always assign an empty icon with
ForceIcons
Icons { ".*" "xpm:empty.xpm" }
if you make an empty icon. Or whatever other thing you want.
