However, can you tell me why the | hint text for the minimize button says Button1-Off | iconify-window? Being excessively literal minded, I expected to | see an icon!
The tooltip first tells what the event is (Button 1 Off, not Button 1 Press or Button 2 <something>), then what action will be performed (iconify-window). It puts the window into the "iconified" state and doesn't display it in a normal frame. A window manager should do nothing more than manage windows. Displaying icons is not part of managing windows so sawfish leaves that chore to the desktop. -D
