How can I make custom icon windows work correctly?
I've written a program use the X11R3 Toolkit and Athena widgets and when
the application window is iconified I want the window manager to use a window
that I have created.
I've seen a program called kaleid that normally displays a changing
kaleidiscopic pattern and when iconified shows a mini, but still changing,
kaleidiscopic pattern.
I am able to get the window manager (twm) to use the window I want as the
icon window for my program but none of the normal iconified window functions
work with it. It won't move when the middle button is pressed in it, it won't
uniconify when the left button is pressed in it etc. .
I've made the icon window a widget whose class is wmShellWidgetClass and
whose parent is my applications toplevel widget (created with XtInitialize).
Then I set the icon_window resource of the toplevel widget to the icon window.
What else do I need to do?
Thanks in advance for any response.
