	Sure, but that only works at the class level.  Scott Oaks sent
me the following reply, and I really hate to say it, but I don't really
know what he's saying.  Is there a generic X flag for setting the
WM_INSTANCE string?  Basically what I'm tring to do is get it so I don't
have to physically set my console window to sticky every time I log in.
I don't, however, want any of my other cmdtools or xterms to be sticky.
(maybe my question was poorly worded...or maybe I'm as lost as I sound ;-)

Thanks again,
Michael

The OpenWindows.VirtualSticky resource defines which applications come
up sticky.  It tries to match WM_CLASS and WM_INSTANCE strings, so if you
are able to set the WM_INSTANCE property of your tool, you get
a particular instance to be sticky.
