(I.e. he got beyond me real quick ... :-)) A version of xterm in X10R4 had an option for icons that would change the icon when output had gone to the window while it was iconified. I think, but am not positive that Ed Moy was the persion who made this change (and several others) to xterm to do this. Is this possible under X11, or would it require a change in the protocol to do it? _____________________________________ Brian V.
