You could try reading the manpage of FvwmIconMan or just search it for
"geometry".  I admit it's not very clear, but at least it tells you
that "Geometry" is not a valid option, while "buttongeometry" and
"managergeometry" are.

Of course, reading a manpage can be dangerous, because you might spend
hours trying all the fancy configurable things you discover in it :-)
So, to protect you from this danger, here are the relevant lines of my
config:

*FvwmIconMan*managergeometry    1x0+0+272
*FvwmIconMan*buttongeometry     193x0

Disclaimer: The syntax is obsolete, because I still use 2.2 at work,
and didn't bother to update the fvwm2rc on my laptop running 2.4.
I didn't want to tell you something I haven't tested myself.

Hope this helps,
Rainer
