I am using X11/R3, the Athena Toolkit, Sun 4/260 under OS4.0 and twm.

I ran into a strange problem where the window manager displays the
icon of my application, but not the icon name (it just displays empty
space). I have the following application setup:

	step 1: create toplevel shell with allowshellresize true;
	step 2: create the initial set of widgets and realize the toplevel
		shell;
	step 3: interpret some additional data which might cause a
		resizing of the toplevel shell;
	step 4: call XtSetValues for setting title, icon name and
		icon pixmap

If I execute the steps as inidicated I don't get any icon name. I looked
at the shell data structure before it returns to the main event loop,
and it contained all the right information.

If I don't allow resizing of the shell, I get all the icon information
(name and pixmap), but if the information in step 3 is to long it is cut
off (as everyone can expect).

If I don't set the icon pixmap, it displays the icon name correctly but
now I don't have any icon pixmap.

If I exchange step 3 and step 4, the icon information is displayed
correctly (name and pixmap), but now I have a problem with my toplevel
shell. It is expanded according to the size of the data generated by
step 3 but the data themselves are not shown. I just see empty space.

Does anybody have any idea what is wrong or what else I could try?

Thanks
/Hans
