-
- In Xt based toolkits (or in Motif anyway) different `shell' widgets
- are used for different purposes. Motif has a DialogShell widget
- which doesn't put out an icon and negotiates a different set of
- window border doo-dads. (No iconize, etc)
-
- Tk doesn't have any of this. The wmprotocols code on barkley may
- do some of this but I haven't looked.
-
- It appears that Tk 3.0 won't have this fixed either since the dialogs
- in `Perspecta Presents!' have a complete set of window border doo-dads.
- On the other hand they've incorporated some of that since using the window
- manager to close windows doesn't kill the process.
