Is it possible to start a X11() device in a minimized state? I have many

I tried really hard, but couldn't find a way to do this.


Firstly, X11() doesn't handle arbitrary X arguments, so you can't do: X11("-iconify");

Secondly, X11() doesn't bother with X resources, so you can't add "R_X11.iconic: 1" or similar to your Xresources.

If you are using the twm window manager, you might be able to tell it to start X11 windows iconified using the 'StartIconified [{win-list}]' option. It says:

        "This  is  useful  for programs that do not support an
        -iconic command line option or resource."

But these days twm isn't much useful for anything else...

So, perhaps some coding in devX11.c required....
