Ahum ... i see this line in my configuration
  Style   "*"     StickyIcon
and man fvwm says
  StickyIcon makes the window sticky when it's iconified.
  It de-iconifies on top the active desktop.  SlipperyIcon
  reverts back to the default.

So
  Style richards-matrix-algebra SlipperyIcon
would confine the icon of program richards-matrix-algebra to the screen
where it was iconified.

Question is how to determine the program name.
man fvwm says:
  Style stylename options ...
    stylename can be a window's name, class, visible name, or
    resource string.  It may contain the wildcards '*' and '?',
    which are matched in the usual Unix filename manner.
So the visible window title might be a good first guess.

There are 9000+ interesting text lines more in man fvwm.


Have a nice day :)
