I don't think that just because the iconbox lies completely within a screen is sufficient reason to only use it for one screen. Since I don't have a setup, I can only guess, but my guess is that we don't need a iconbox for each screen feature. Well, maybe not iconbox for each screen, but iconify on the same screen. It seems most natural that windows iconify on the same screen where they are. A possible way to achieve this behaviour is to define a floating iconbox: i.e. IconBox -80x200-1-1 will create an iconbox which will be treated as @w (w is window's current screen). Not sure about implementation details, though -- I'm speaking of this mainly as a user of several multiheaded machines. BTW, there's a little problem with specifying iconboxes separately for each screen: this is okay for a static configuration, but what about an XDM server which works for several different-headed machines? So there's a need in a single command to bind iconboxes to all screens. I have yet to test the latest CVS, so sorry if everything is already done. _ Dmitry Yu.

One more Xinerama patch for FvwmWharf
Hi! This patch deals with withdrawing Wharf to corners and with in which direction panels should open. BTW, there's a strange error in drawing the panel's host button. When a vertical Wharf is at the right border (and a panel slides to the left), after a panel completely appears, the host button is in two halves: the right half is pressed, while the left one is depressed. Presence of this effect depends on X server, but I can 100% reproduce it in Xnest ran on Matrox G450 under XFree86 4.0.3 (RH7.1, AnotherLevel). Interestingly, on the host server itself the effect seems to be 100% unreproducible. I can post a screenshot of this effect if required. BTW2: wouldn't it be wise to add an item 15.5.5.5 to todo-3.0, stating Remove FvwmWharf (It's an FvwmButtons with trivial enhancements)? _ Dmitry Yu.
