RE: XTerm icon updated? Re: Updated: xterm-283-1
From: Thomas Dickey I did consider providing a special resource value that would suppress the xterm-specific icon (such as none or default), but decided to see what type of feedback I'd get first. I like having a specific xterm icon in the taskbar to make it clear which X application is actually running. I was just surprised to see a different icon, and I was curious what had changed to make it appear. Thanks for the explanation! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Previously, when I launched the XWin Server, I would see the x.org logo (a black X with an orange ring) in the task bar as the icon for the XTerm window. Today, I see the XTerm icon for the XTerm window: a red X with a blue T superimposed over it. yes - from xterm's standpoint it's moderately complicated. For Xwin Server, I assume that the icon is shown because that's the window which keeps the server from exiting. Though I investigated several cases, I didn't consider this particular one. xterm now specifies an icon because several of the cases I found didn't provide any icon at all - a favor from the desktop packagers, it seems.
