Is there any reason xterm doesn't support icon bitmaps under
X11, as it did in X10 (i.e. as in xterm -ib _bitmap_ and
xterm*iconBitmap: _bitmap_)? As I understand it, this seems like a
fairly simple proposition, with xterm needing only to construct the
pixmap, then pass it to the window manager via XSetStandardProperties().
The reason I ask is that there are a few people here who have
become very attached to their X10 icon bitmaps, and who are reluctant
to convert to X11 because of their apparent absence. Of course, firing
up x10tox11 then calling the X10 version of xterm is one way to do it,
but that doesn't really address the question :-). Is there perhaps a
(tweaked) version of xterm floating around that *does* support
user-specified icon bitmaps?

P.S.: I also believe a quick "thank you" is due to Robert Scheifler,
Jim Fulton, Chris D. Peterson and all the other MIT "xperts" for
providing clear and very timely responses to questions posted here.
Regardless of whether or not their answers are part of their
"responsibilities," I for one am very thankful to have world-
renowned experts in the field within such easy reach.

Similarly, some here are emotionally dependent upon their X10 xterm
active icons, wherein they keep watch over goings-on that they have
put aside for a while. This would be another nice feature to
reinstate, if anyone wants to bother.moraes@csri.toronto.EDU (Mark Moraes) (05/11/89)
We had a similar problem here - a lot of people wanted their icon pixmaps, and their icon geometry, and didn't appreciate being told to use -xrm. Eventually, I added two options to the toolkit for -ip (iconPixmap) and -ig (iconGeometry). They've been seen to work for people around here on Sun3s running SunOS3.5. Since adding these to Xt would change a standard interface, this fix is most certainly not official, and is unlikely to become official. Fair warning - keep the old source RCS'ed or suchlike in case this interferes with official fixes. Adding them to the toolkit does mean that all toolkit applications get these options, once you recompile half the world. I've tried to keep the change as small as possible - the code for the StrToPixmap converter is straight from Xmu. I've documented the two options in the xterm manual, which as far as i can tell is the only place the official Xt options are documented. (and the Xt programming manual, I guess) Reasons: icongeometry option is handy and consistent with the popular X method for specifying locations - using xrm is more cumbersome. iconpixmap is handy when using the application in another situation, where you want to tell a difference from it's normal mode of operation - for example, we have a simple application called xspell which invokes ispell -a in an xterm (and a small awk script to postprocess the output of ispell and make it more readable), which many of us like leaving around on the desktop iconified. It's handy to be able to specify the pixmap in the script. Similarly, I know people who start up rn in an xterm, mail in an xterm, etc. *** /tmp/,RCSt1a23158 Fri Jan 20 01:12:09 1989 --- Converters.c Fri Jan 20 01:11:13 1989 *************** *** 104,109 static void CvtStringToInt();

There are at least two solutions to this that require no hacking: 1) use twm and tell it what you want your icon for xterm to be 2) When you start xterm, give it an "-xrm *iconPixmap: /some/filename" option. These work with xterm and twm under X.V11R3. I can't say what happens with other window mgrs. -- Dave Cohrs +1 608 262-6617 UW-Madison Computer Sciences Department dave@cs.wisc.edu ...!{harvard,rutgers,ucbvax}!uwvax!dave

My problem with X11 is the window manager uwm. Is it possible to get uwm under X11 to use the same kind of titlebars it used under X10 ? Is there any other window manager that is flexible enough for me to configure it to work as close as possible to the X10 uwm ? Sorry if this sounds way to basic, but I am just getting started at this. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ | Name: Marco Zelada, VLSI CAD Engineer | Tel: 617 353 9882, Fax: 353 6322 | | Lab: VLSI CAD Laboratory | E-mail: marco@buengc.bu.edu | | Dept: Electrical & Computer Engineering | US-Mail: 44 Cummington St. | | Org: Boston University | Boston MA, 02215 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
