   I did. You misunderstood the question. I was asking if it was possible
make mwm use left gravity when iconifying 'on each instance' instead of
remembering the last postition... (UTFQ)

 =}  Mwm seems to do a pretty good job getting

   That is what I want, but what mwm can't do.

 =}You can, however, tie a
 =}button or a menu item to the function f.pack_icons.

   And pull down a menu or press a button almost every time you iconify
a window...

   Since when does one consider the 'hard-work' put in by the designers
when considering customer satisfaction. They get paid to produce a product
that will please the CUSTOMER, not themselves. My company paid it's money
and has gotten very little satisfaction out of using mwm (other than the
pretty frames) but has had plenty of hassles do mwm's failings. It is a
commercial product yet it is frequently being compared disfavorably to
pds products. With the attitude that 'designer' is king, one merely sets
oneself (and possibly the market) up for a big fall...
