I have tried and failed to figure out what I'm doing wrong, so I'll humble
myself in front of the whole net. The problem is that when I create
a top level window form the proprietary language I'm interfacing to X via
Xlib and then iconify it I see "joe.icon" where joe.icon is the
icon_name set with XSetStandardProperties. The icon pixmap is also set
and I verified that the icon pixmap id is ok by copying it to the window.
If I write a tiny C program to create and map a window with the same
properties, the return codes from all the Xlib calls are the same and it
works! The only difference between the C program and the calls made from
our language is that our language calls XCheckMaskEvent in response to
a timer interrupt and the C program calls XNextEvent. Can anybody suggest
why I dont get the icon pixmap in the non-c case? Does anybody know
what the return codes from XSetStandardProperties  mean?
