If you're running twm make certain that you don't have the IconRegion variable set - or, if you do, make certain that it's correct. Otherwise, you may iconify your windows right off your screen. :) ------------------------------------------------------ Forrest Palmer (x5668) Systems Programmer/Administrator MITRE Corp. - Washington Center palmer@mwunix.mitre.org ------------------------------------------------------

The system seems to "eat" iconized windows. Whenever I iconify
a window under the xnews server, the icon disappears completely off
the screen. I can't think of any way of de-iconifying these windows.

What window manager etc. are you using? I've never seen that happen.

If you're running twm make certain that you don't have the IconRegion
variable set - or, if you do, make certain that it's correct. Otherwise,
you may iconify your windows right off your screen. :)
I'm seeing this problem, too. When I close a window, the icon appears
momentarily in the right place; then, poof! it's gone. The underlying
process is still running.
I don't think it's IconRegion -- I don't use that, and anyway it appears
the placement is correct.
