I wrote earlier that when I start OW's calendar manager iconic, that
the appointment scheduler window is started iconic as well, whenever I
want to create an appointment (not jsut the first time). I neglected
to mention that I am using mwm (1.1) as my window manager. A couple
people replied indicating that it is not a problem when running olwm.
Perhaps there is some bug in mwm or cm related to ICCCMedness.

I don't know whether it is a bug or not but this problem also occurs
with twm, uwm and gwm. These are the three window managers I've played
with. I think it very possible that the problem is with any window
manager besides olwm.
The problem you folks are seeing is caused by a bug in XView, not in
calendar manager or in a window manager. The problem is that when you
give the -Wi option to an XView program (which tells it to start up
iconic) this applies to *all* windows that the application opens, even
those that are mapped after you've deiconified the application. Some of
olwm's window state policy covers up this bug, which is why you don't see
it under olwm. XView should probably be fixed so that -Wi applies only to
the first window, not all the subsequent windows.
