##4) Xterm's understanding of geometry specifications for icons broke between
##X10 and X11.  You used to be able to say:
##		xterm -i =+180+290 '#-3+200' &
##to get an icon that was 3 pixels from the right edge of the screen.  Now
##it puts the left edge of the icon 3 pixels from the right of the screen,
##which is not useful.

#I believe this might also be a twm bug.  BTW, you are using old style
#geometry specifications; you should say '-geometry +180+290'.
#Unfortunately I believe the Toolkit has no -icongeometry option.

Nope - 
	xterm -iconic -geometry 80x24-1-1 -xrm 'xterm*iconGeometry: -1-1'
(which is the official way of specifying a geometry to toolkit
aplications, I take it!) doesn't work even under uwm. Looking at
the WM_HINTS through xprop (with uwm/no window manager), it sets the
x, y coordinates of the icon, and does it wrong.
