This is  a pretty common question, its  easy to overlook.  It may seem
counterintuitive, but  icons will only  go into FvwmIconBox  when they
are associated with "styles" that have the "NoIcon" attribute.

Something like:

Style "*" Icon myicon.xpm, NoIcon


It was  years ago,   but once again,    I suggest this  change  to the
"system.fvwmrc" that is distributed with fvwm2:

Around line 192:
OLD:
+			"IconBox"	Module	FvwmIconBox
NEW:
+			"IconBox"	ConfigFvwmIconBox

AddToFunc ConfigIconBox "I" Module FvwmIconBox
+                       "I" Style     "*"  NoIcon
+                       "I" Recapture

(This might help to make FvwmIconBox work out-of-the-box.)
