Hi - I'm not 100% sure if this is an Fvwm thing or an xterm thing, but:

I'm trying to use the 'activeIcon' functionality of the xfree86 xterm
[patch #132], in fvwm 2.2.4: basically I want iconified xterms to accept
input: I can verify that the xterms have activeIcon support compiled in:
If I remove the 'Icon' entry from their styles, I see a miniaturised
version of an xterm when I iconify them, and I'm _almost certain_ that in
the past, they used [in a version of fvwm 2.0.x, I think] to accept input
in this state as well, but they don't seem to do that any more. Rxvts
still accept input when iconified. Is there something extra I need to do
to get fvwm 2.2.x to supply input to iconified xterms? [The xterm
documentation states that the activeIcon input stuff works with fvwm]

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? [I've specified 'Lenience' in the xterm
style, just in case]

They both have the follwing in ther Identify info:

Focus Policy: Passive
- Input Field: True
- WM_TAKE_FOCUS: Absent

Anybody have any ideas about this? Is there something I need to
set/compile in to fvwm? Or should I direct my attention back towards
xterm?
