The R4 TWM has some really *neat* features, but I have one very large
complaint.  I want to specify "IconRegions" so that the clients that I can't
tack an icongeometry onto (why, oh why isn't "IconGeometry" a standard part
of the Toolkit options?) will end up somewhere useful.

However, when I use IconRegions, TWM wants to put *all* of my icons in them!
Upon startup, its ok - icons are where I put them, either with icon geometry
or manually.  As soon as I open and then reiconify the window, the icon
ends up **in an icon region**.  This is NOT what I want!

It appears that TWM looks at the WM_HINTS only the first time and ignores
it thereafter.  That is bad behavior.  Any **good** reason why it's like this?
