    The system seems to "eat" iconized windows.  Whenever I iconify
    a window under the xnews server, the icon disappears completely off
    the screen.  I can't think of any way of de-iconifying these windows.

    What window manager etc. are you using?  I've never seen that happen.

    If you're running twm make certain that you don't have the IconRegion
    variable set - or, if you do, make certain that it's correct. Otherwise,
    you may iconify your windows right off your screen. :)

I'm seeing this problem, too.  When I close a window, the icon appears
momentarily in the right place;  then, poof! it's gone.  The underlying
process is still running.

I don't think it's IconRegion -- I don't use that, and anyway it appears
the placement is correct.
