True, that's one negative of Xming over XWin (even the old version).
But it does get the WM hints right in all the cases I mentioned.

Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have the time to look these over in
more detail.

My impression is that upstream considers hw/xwin without a maintainer,
and the Xming maintainer has (wisely) refrained from pushing his patches
unilaterally.  I hope that, thanks to your help, we can work together to
change that situation.

No, what I meant was the problem only with Qt4 application icons where
the shape of the icon is correct but is filled with B&W static.  Compare
the results of, for instance, designer-qt4 in multiwindow mode versus
the behaviour of openbox, xfwm4, metacity, or kwin.
