FVWM: FVWM and xterm (with active icons)

Hi!

I am running FVWM 2.0.46 and xterm 3.3.2.3 under FreeBSD 3.0.

The other day I saw in the xterm man page the capability for "active
icons", where the icon for xterm becomes a minature picture of what's on
the screen (with about one pixel per character!)

(This doesn't work if you set FVWM to give xterm a specific icon.)


I have two questions:

It says in the man page that some window managers will allow you to type
into the mini-screen icons. For example, twm will let you. But FVWM
won't let me do this. Is it possible to set it up so that I can?

Also, with FVWM set up as described as above, if I iconise an xterm to an
active icon and then deiconise it, any subsequent resize will reduce the
window to a 1x1 character screen, which won't expand again. This doesn't
happen if xterm has active icon disabled, and it doesn't happen in twm.
Is this a fault, or is there an option that I have set up wrongly?


Thanks,

Ben.

P.S.

I hope that this is the correct place to send this message, but I don't
know of any xterm mailing lists, and it works under twm.

If you want to see a copy of my fvwm2 config then I can send it to you.
