I'm running 3 slink systems and I've run into a problem with X on two of

Given the state of X and slink this normally wouldn't bother me but what
caused me concern was that only 2 of the 3 systems broke -- darn it, I
want all or nothing. ;-)

Don't you folks read the READMEs? There's stated that the XFree
packages are split up in several minor ones now, so for example xterm
and xdm has got their own packages each, xf86setup too, some client

I don't think so because I have this settings in my fvwm2 configuration.
The problem appears *only* if I run emacs from the menu.
IMHO if I run emacs from the xterm (that is ran from fvwm' menu) then
I get the correct icons.
