Really? Because I just got a message from him via sourceforge accusing me of "published some of the Xming patches without retaining [his] copyright". I'm not sure which patches he's referring to, since he doesn't say, but a message like that gives me the impression that he's not really interested in cooperation. > The Qt4 designer "New Form" window gets a monochrome bitmap because that's > the one pointed to the _WM_HINTS property.

What I don't understand is why Qt4 apps act differently than Qt3 or GTK+-1/2 apps in this regard. > I get the standard X logo icon for the rest of Qt4 designer's windows.

With multiwindow and all of the WMs I mentioned (and by openbox, I meant the 3.x version just added to Ports, not the ancient 0.x in the distro), ALL of the windows have the program icon.
