Well, I'm afraid that those of us who don't have GPX don't get to have
this feature.  I'm running VMS 4.5 and VWS 3.2 on a VAXstation II (no
GPX) and just tried what you suggested.  I defined
UIS$VT_ENABLE_LIVE_ICON to "True" and it didn't work, even after
getting rid of all of my 220 windows.

When we have a shrunk icon that gets new data, the words "NEW DATA"
appear in the icon.  This is the case whether or not the logical is
defined.  This is NOT in 3.0, but is in 3.2.

Yet another reason to buy a VAXstation 8000  :-)
