More likely a change in the winoptions file installed with Icewm, Béèm. This behaviour in Icewm is controlled by the definitions in /root/.icewm/winoptions, so you can check the difference between the two versions using Xdiff-cut to see what may have changed. There may also be a minor variation in a parameter of the Icewm preferences file at play here too. I have used whatever was packaged as standard by ttuuxxx.Béèm wrote:If I recall well, programs like pidgin, which start iconized next to the volume and blinky ones, did start this way before rc1. This freed space to display running programs in the systray. Now in rc1 this isn't the case anymore.
I tried in JWM and there it is as before.
Other programs with this kind of operation are programs like MesNews and Pegasus mail in wine. Thy can be iconized as well in JWM, but not in Icewm.
A change in design?
Hope that helps.
