Hi,
Since changing from WindowMaker to Sawfish, minimized
windows do not display icons. Are others showing icons

Thanks for any suggestions,

Tnx to MarkL for the reminder to keep scope restricted, and how-to.
Kudos to MarkC for the why-you-do-it-that-way.

If you have any questions in particular I would be glad to help.
