A while ago I posted a couple of questions regarding peaceful coexistence
of Sun's OpenWindows and MIT X11R4 software.  Since I receive no replies
to date I am reposting here the one problem I consider most pressing,
to wit:

The combination of xnews server and twm as a window manager screws up
when I try to iconify windows.  Windows are iconified (by any of the
mechanisms twm provides for this), but the icons then immediately
disappear completely from the screen.  The corresponding application is
still running, however, but has to be killed because there is now way to
get its window(s) back.

The problem does not occur with the olwm or pswm window managers.
Are Sun's window managers making assumptions special to the xnews
server?

Anybody who has experienced this problem and knows a workaround,
please let me (or the net) know.
