twm question

[Fred Ma]

Hi,

How does one specify in one's .twmrc file to
always keep the icon manager on top (i.e. raised)?
Ideally, I would have no icons to clutter my workspace,
and just access collapsed windows thru my window manager.
Even more ideally, the windows manager can be collapsed
to a single icon that I can drag out like a popup
menu when I want to deiconify an application.

Thanks.

I don't think this is possible. You could use a small font, and have it in
the top left corner of your screen, however.

You can iconify the Icon Manager itself, with a keyboard shortcut or menu
option. I use the following, so that Meta-Control-Left Arrow iconifies the
current window:

"Left" = m c : window : f.iconify
