minibuffer title and icon problems

I recently started using epoch 3.2 under X11R5 and noticed a new
behavior for the minibuffer's title. The Minibuffer is now titled
"Minibuffer @ hostname" where hostname is the actually name of
whatever host (console) that I am on. Considering that this version of
epoch was compiled under R4, this would not be too disturbing except
that the change in title name means that the following settings inside
.twmrc or .tvtmwrc no longer work.

      IconManagerDontShow {"Minibuffer"}
 and
      NoTitle {"Minibuffer"}

So I am getting a title on the minibuffer and an icon for it when I
use R5, but this worked fine under R4.  It is not apparent from the
various setup files where things are going amiss, especially since
the problem only occurs if I invoke epoch in .xinitrc prior to
invoking twm or tvtwm.  If I invoke epoch in an xterm after the window
manager has started then it works fine.

Is anyone familiar with this problem?  At the moment it is not a
simple matter to recompile epoch 3.2 or 4.0 under R5 and besides I am
not sure that will solve this problem. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks
