[comp.windows.x] uwm and the icon_pixmap WM hint

dave@speedy.cs.wisc.edu (Dave Cohrs) (04/20/88)

I have been experimenting with the properties as part
of WM_HINT, specifically, the pixmap hint.  uwm doesn't
quite work with this hint.  The problem is:

- I have a pixmap hint for a window, say an xterm.
- If I try to f.iconify this window (the first time), it
  works fine, the pixmap that I expected appears, although
  in a strange place (I didn't specify the icon position
  on the command line).
- If I try to f.newiconify this window (the first time), the
  cursor changes to the Iconify cursor, but NewIconify() fails
  when it trys to
	status = XGetWindowAttributes(dpy, icon, &icon_info);
  namely, status == FALSE after this call (you'd have to look
  at the code to get the context).  I can't see any reason why
  this should fail in NewIconify(), but succeed in Iconify().
- if I f.iconify the first time, I can f.newiconify afterward
  and it works fine.

Any ideas?
