I agree with the point here, but on the related subject: Is there any
way to tell these other window managers that you would like all OPEN
LOOK pinnable windows to come up full size (as opposed to iconic) ?
I have noticed that if you start any OPEN LOOK application in iconic
mode, this applies to all pinnable windows which that application may
bring up, whether the pin is in or out. Is there any way to get around
this behaviour other than not bringing the application up iconic to
begin with? I have observed this behaviour using both mwm and twm under
OpenWindows2.0 on a SS1+.
