I would like a window to be listed under IconManagerDontShow{},
but the window name is constantly changing since it is a stocktool
that shows the last time updated as the window name/title.  Is there
anyway to use wildcards or anything to accomplish this?  This ability
is not mentioned in the man page.

I am running Solaris 2.1 with the twm included with Openwindows 3.1.

Many thanks,
/richard

well, the man page is not really clear, but sort of implies that you
can actually use the class name of the application in IconManagerDontShow{}.

i use that e.g.

IconManagerDontShow {
	"XTerm"
}

and it works fine for me (although i am running vtwm, it should be the
same). so, as long as the class name for that window did not change,
it should not be displayed.
