Probably something that knows how to parse argv[0] so you could just
make a generic wrapper. This is an ugly solution.
I think a better solution would be to add something to your shell
that would allow you to run some command before the fork/exec
of your input. tcsh has the `precmd` which is sort of what we want
but backwards. I use it to set the xterm title to the current working
directory and the hostname. `precmd` is executed before the prompt
is displayed. What we need is a sort of `postcmd` that is executed
AFTER you press enter on the CL.
And for our next silly project we can use the graphics features in
rxvt to create icons in our windows. *gag*
Have a good one.
