I have a chunk of code where (due to the stupid and awkward args
processing I'm doing at application startup) it isn't practical to call
show(argc, argv)... So I call show() instead, but always make a point of
calling Fl::get_system_colors() before I call show() the first time.

I haven't looked closely at the fluid sources, but maybe there's some
reason there why it doesn't call show(argc,argv).

Anyway, what I was going to suggest is that Fl::get_system_colors()
could maybe be extended to cover setting the xclass, to cover those
cases where show() is called "wrongly" at initialisation.

Would that help at all?

That might have been me, actually. Or at least, I have code for
determining the executable path on the majority of platforms, if we need
it.
