- IF the application registers a Xt Converter routine for converting
- XtRString to XtRPixmap ressources, you can do it as:
-
- xterm -xrm "XTerm.iconPixmap: file" ...
-
- I dunno if the converter knows of the ~username csh syntax... he will
- complain about it if not.
-
- At least the X11R5 version of xterm registers such converter.
- BTW, iconPixmap is a resource of the shell widget only, so no '*iconPixmap..'
- was given.
