Ah! I remember now... That is correct - I hadn't finished backing it
all the way out and got sidetracked by something else. I'm finishing
it up right now, and I'll hopefully have a patch for you shortly.

I don't remember exactly what "other problems" was concerned about at
the time. Sorry. But it did mess up the way the FvwmIconBox worked,
and potentially other modules (window list?), so that was the primary
motivator for attempting to back it out. BTW - Rob hadn't tested it
at all when it was given to him, he just included it and he told me
that when he gave me pl34.

Also, I'm not certain what the advantage of not re-naming or
re-classing no name & no class windows is while I can see advantages
to giving them a name/class that shows that they didn't have one
originally.
