Hi Folks:

	We upgraded to DW/Motif 1.2-4 a few weeks ago and discovered & solved
those problems.  Ken -- I sent you mail.  Perhaps it's didn't get there?
Details below...

Hi Folks:

I've been creating DECterm windows and setting titles for a while like so:

  sprintf(DtCustom,
                "DECW$TERMINAL.title: %s \n \
                DECW$TERMINAL.iconName: %s:%s \n \
                DECW$TERMINAL.x: %d \n \
                DECW$TERMINAL.y: %d ",
                title,
                dclSymbol, itemData->tag,       /* Both compose the iconName */
                WindowGeometry.xCoord,
                WindowGeometry.yCoord
                );

  /*
  // Create a DECterm window.
  */
  dt_status = DECwTermPort(display, decwResources, DtCustom, devnam, &devlen);
  ...

    However, we recently tried upgrading from DECwindows 1.2-3 to DW 1.2-4,
and titles no longer got set.  After some consulting with Digital, we were
told to insert a '\n' before the string.

This did NOT work:      "DECW$TERMINAL.title: \n %s \n \

But this did:           "\n DECW$TERMINAL.title: %s \n \

Just thought you'd like to know.

=====
P.S.  There was also a change to the default font size, which caused our
      DECterm windows to be huge.  We fixed that by added a resource to
      decw$xdefaults.dat:

DECW$TERMINAL.main.terminal.bigFontSetName: -*-Terminal-*-*-*--*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
