- I may be wrong, but this sounds like the `fault' is with twm, not epoch. When
- we moved to R5 from R4, I noticed that using the Icons{} declaration:
-
- Icons {
- "emacs" "emacs.xbm" "tcsh" "tcsh.xbm"
- "epoch" "epoch.xbm" "csh" "csh.xbm"
- }
-
- did not result in those windows with titles *beginning* with "emacs", "tcsh"
- etc. using the relevant bitmap as icon (the window names are of the form
- "app@hostname"). The change was that R5 twm matches *exactly* with the
- specified string, rather than matching the beginning. (I prefer the R4
- behaviour myself.) The fix, if this is the case, is to hack the twm code, or,
- as I ended up doing, listing each possible string of the form "Minibuffer @
- hostname" in the declarations.
-
- Have fun. Simon.
