^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To be honest I could shift a whole bundle completely, but I'd still use
a whole lot of icons for things. When I'm working (as opposed to just
sitting here playing with the pretty borders) I'll have about ten or so windows
up (couple of Xterms, an XGterm running IRAF with a Tek Window open, XImtool,
a Nedit's or two, probably mailtool half the time...) Then I'll open something else and, because I'm on a fairly small screen here, I'll have to iconify
something to find a space to put it, and then do it in reverse to switch
back....
If they're all question marks then it _looks_ bad. Icons are cosmetic
measures, you could easily have just the title-bar sat there but who
wants that?
I guess this big active:style ratio must be a Boy Scout thing...
