Depending on which version of Motif you have, 1.0 or 1.1, set the
following resource:

for 1.0:
Mwm*iconbox*selectColor: red

for 1.1 early snapshots:
Mwm*iconbox*troughColor: red

Both of these resources will affect the color of the area behind the icons
in the bulletinboard part of the iconbox AND the color of the trough area
in the iconbox scrollbars.  The name and affect of this resource is not
necessarily etched in stone yet.  BTW, you don't have to set these to
*red*, be creative, and pick you own color. ;-)
