X10R4, dec 24 release. xterm 6.6A2. remote xterms started with uwm, such as in the following menu entry, foo: !"rsh foo xterm =80x33+463+143 \\#+764+16 -ls -n foo &" will die if their icons need to fix damage (ie. if the icon was previously covered, and then exposed). xterms started locally, as in this menu entry, don't die as such. xterm: !"xterm =80x33 \#+720+16 &" --bw

I had this problem too until I removed a specification for xterm.IconFont from my .Xdefaults. It was rather inconvenient (:-), especially in the case that the icon that needed to do damage repair was my login window - down went the server and all my tools! In a related vein, how do I get ActiveIcon and AllowIconInput, along with some identifying label attached to the icon?

Yup. I have the same problems on my RT PC except local xterms lose,
also. They end up terminating on a SIGFPE.
