I may be wrong, but this sounds like the `fault' is with twm, not epoch.  When
we moved to R5 from R4, I noticed that using the Icons{} declaration:

Icons {
	"emacs"		"emacs.xbm"		"tcsh"		"tcsh.xbm"
	"epoch"		"epoch.xbm"		"csh"		"csh.xbm"
}

did not result in those windows with titles *beginning* with "emacs", "tcsh"
etc. using the relevant bitmap as icon (the window names are of the form
"app@hostname").  The change was that R5 twm matches *exactly* with the
specified string, rather than matching the beginning.  (I prefer the R4
behaviour myself.)  The fix, if this is the case, is to hack the twm code, or,
as I ended up doing, listing each possible string of the form "Minibuffer @
hostname" in the declarations.

Have fun.  Simon.
