Actually, if you just don't specify an Icon, and it (the app) doesn't
have a built in one, then it should only come up w/ the title. But
perhaps another style option that inhibits even built in icons (as you
suggest) would be a good idea. It'll have to wait until the Style
flags overhaul though, which will be my first big change after the
first official release.

Well, I'll check out that patch and see if it adversely effects
anything else. It does change the behavior to happen on the press
instead of the release though, which was talked about a long time ago.
I believe MWM does a lot on the press as well.

Thanks. Unfortunately FVWM isn't part of my job description. It's
just something to do in the little spare time that I have left... I
do deservie a raise for the other stuff I do, though! ;^)

Don't worry. Just a little while longer...
