Thanks, I'll have to take a look at that.

I would hope so too, but...

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.

What I don't understand is why Qt4 apps act differently than Qt3 or
GTK+-1/2 apps in this regard.

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.
