However, when I added this line in my .Xdefaults file: xclock.IconPixmap: /u4/home/jc/bin/bitmaps/jcname OLWM would not startup. It did not exit, it just hung there. The same thing happened with OLVWM. I tried more than one bitmap, but they all hung. Anyone have any pointers? jc -- -- James Cameron (jc@raven.bu.edu) Signal Processing and Interpretation Lab.
