Also, when I iconify the consle soon after login, I get the little
teletype pixmap that blinks when there's new text in the console, but
after a while, when I iconified the console, I got the icon I get on
7.1 machines- namely, the wordconsole in a small box. (I have not
defined a pixmap for that icon)
I assume that you were using twm. You must have:
1. Iconified the console
2. Deiconified the console
then
3. Clicked the hide button on the console
There is a bug in twm which causes it to destroy the console's icon
window. Sigh. The solution is not to use the hide button on the
console (which, if you like the icon, you probably don't normally
do anyway) until twm is fixed. I will be sending a patch for that.
(Config_console will restart the console and restore the icon.)
(I like the new console icon behavior. Could I retain the behavior
while changing the icon???)
Yes. Try adding a resource to your X resources:
Console*icon.icon: /path/for/icon/you/want
and to specify the size of the window it shows up in,
*iconWindow.geometry: FOOxBAR
should do it. Twm allows any foo and bar, but MWM apparently allows
only from 32x32 to 50x50.
