Ok, doing some tests it seems that the logic of setting window/icon names in fvwm is broken. The behavior depends on the ability of the client to do set UTF8-properties, but it is broken in any case. Tests follow:
On urxvt: (551) aw@anhrefn $ xprop -id 0x3200008 |grep WM_.*NAME|grep -v LOCALE _NET_WM_ICON_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "nix" _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" WM_NAME(STRING) = "nix" (552) aw@anhrefn $ echo -ne "\033]1;icon\007" (553) aw@anhrefn $ xprop -id 0x3200008 |grep WM_.*NAME|grep -v LOCALE _NET_WM_ICON_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "icon" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "icon" _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" WM_NAME(STRING) = "nix" (554) aw@anhrefn $ echo -ne "\033]2;title\007" (555) aw@anhrefn $ xprop -id 0x3200008 |grep WM_.*NAME|grep -v LOCALE _NET_WM_ICON_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "nix" _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "title" _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "icon" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "icon" _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "title" WM_NAME(STRING) = "title" (556) aw@anhrefn $ echo -ne "\033]1;icon1\007" (557) aw@anhrefn $ xprop -id 0x3200008 |grep WM_.*NAME|grep -v LOCALE _NET_WM_ICON_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "title" _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "title" _NET_WM_ICON_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "icon1" WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "icon1" _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "title" WM_NAME(STRING) = "title" On rxvt: (557) aw@anhrefn $ xprop -id 0x2800002 |grep WM_.*NAME|grep -v LOCALE WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "nix" WM_NAME(STRING) = "nix" (558) aw@anhrefn $ echo -ne "\033]1;icon\007" (559) aw@anhrefn $ xprop -id 0x2800002 |grep WM_.*NAME|grep -v LOCALE WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "icon" WM_NAME(STRING) = "nix" (560) aw@anhrefn $ echo -ne "\033]2;title\007" (561) aw@anhrefn $ xprop -id 0x2800002 |grep WM_.*NAME|grep -v LOCALE WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "icon" WM_NAME(STRING) = "title" In any of the rxvt-cases, WM_NAME is displayed in FvwmIconMan - altough *FvwmIconMan*format "%i" is in the config file. cu AW -- [...] If you don't want to be restricted, don't agree to it.
