Many users may prefer not to use icons on desktop at all, so they keep 'NoIcon' style set for all their applications. But icons are still useful to them if they use module like 'FvwmIconBox' which can display them. But with current code in CVS if they, for example, change icon on the fly, 'NoIcon' style will be disabled automatically, which not that they want. If my patch will be accepted this will not happen anymore. And example: from 'FvwmConsole' execute following commands: Style * NoIcon Module FvwmIconBox Style SomeApp Icon /path/to/another/icon See? Icon for 'SomeApp' again appeared on desktop and to hide it you need to execute 'Style SomeApp NoIcon'. With my patch this extra command no longer needed. Hope, this time I made this clear enough.
I believe this can be solved with UseIcon vs !UseIcon for showing vs not showing the desktop icon, and the "Icon" or "IconPath" style just to set the icon path. But NoIcon would go away. It's intuitive and simple.. Cheers, Renato
