This patch partly corrects the problem. When I start X up my .xinitrc
file starts a bunch of xterms iconified, and after a few seconds the
shell issues some escape sequence that changes the icon name... So in
this case the icon name for the initially display icon is truncated. If
I open the window and then re-inconify all is well.
In any case thanks for the quick response.
