[comp.windows.x] <app> -iconic vs. twm

morgan@ogicse.cse.ogi.edu (Clark O. Morgan) (02/16/91)

Using twm in X11R4, I want to start up an application in the iconified
state and use it some time later.  No problem, I just type:
    
    $ <app> -iconic &

However, when I uniconify the application, it has _no_ title.  Blech.
So I read the appropriate sections of Vol 3 of O'Reilly & Assoc.
and edited my copy of .twmrc to include this directive:

   MakeTitle { "<app>" }

I logged out and then back in.  The result was the same -- no title
when I uniconified <app>.  I tried this with two different
applications, namely:  xterm and xclipboard.  So what am I doing
wrong (or is this a twm feature/bug)?

This question may be in the FAQ, but I just started reading this
group and the FAQ has previously expired....

Thanks in advance.
