Not necessarily, no. It's somewhat unusual, but programs as old as the hill such as XZoom probably didn't set XA_WM_NAME -- and as I said to you before -- the value of "Untitled" is FVWM's default in the case when the program doesn't set the WM_NAME. Looking at the source code for xzoom-0.3 (which I'm using on FreeBSD) I note the following: /* XChangeProperty(dpy, win, XA_WM_NAME, XA_STRING, 8, PropModeReplace, (unsigned char *)progname, strlen(progname)); */ So it's anyone's guess why XZoom doesn't do this. But this program may well not be maintained any more. -- Thomas Adam
