I want to use the IconRegion setup variable using tvtwm
and it works ok except i want it to use that region
in EACH virtual window (i'm using VirtualDesktop "2x2")

not on the first quadrant only

e.g. what happens is if i'm in virtual screen 2,3 or 4 and
iconify a window the icon goes to v.s. 1  - so if i want to
get it back i have to go to vs1 and deiconify

here is my IconRegion "96x512+0+0" North East 10 10

is there some magic geometry setting i could use that would
say i want it (the +0+0) relative to the virtual screen i'm in?

or some other method?

the whole reason i have to use IconRegion is because the icon is
left where the window is by default (unless the app tells it
otherwise) but for xterm/hpterm windows that's always right
where they are  -  IconManager i didn't like (although it is
quite cool)


p.s. the 10 10 on IconRegion (gridwidth, gridheight respectively
i could not figure out what they did but setting them to 10
and 10 worked)

		thanx,
