We are running X11R3 (patches 1-8, no purdue, no gcc) and twm (version 3,
taken from X11R2).  Hardware is Sun 3/60 under SunOS 4.0.

The configuration file ".twmrc" contains menus associated with the root
window and with title bars.  "f.iconify" has been included as an option
in both cases.

When this option is chosen from the root menu, everything works fine (that
is, the subsequently selected window iconifies as expected).

When chosen from the frame menu, the window appears to iconify, but then
disappears from the screen altogether.  The client continues to run until
output is sent to the screen, at which time it dies painfully.  The most
dramatic example is xclock, which dies immediately while updating the second 
hand.

If anyone has seen this and can help, I would like to hear from you.  It may
be a simple mismatch between the R2 window manager and R3 clients, or it may
be a stupid mistake on my part.

By the way, this same behavior is also seen when the "close" button in the
title bar is pressed (in windows with title bars).

Thanks,
Richard Young
