| Mouseplacement for an icon sounds unpleasant.
Possibly I'm used to it from years of using twm before fvwm, but it
just makes sense to my mind and my fingers. When I iconify something
that has a real icon, I want its icon to be right there where I expect
it and can find it. Then I'll move it to some place that makes sense to
me; I am strong on spatial organization of iconified things[*].
Of course this is one good reason for it to be and remain a personal
patch; I can't expect other people to think about icons and icon layout
the way I do.
