xfce3 window manager config question

Hey man, this is free (also as in free-beer :-) software!
So unless there are more than 2 people (you and myself) requesting having 
iconified applications, I'm afraid that that's not going to happen soon...

As you probably know (I posted a note a while ago), by switching from xfwm4 to 
(openMotif 2.1.30) mwm, you get the icons... but you lose the multi-workspace 
facility (actually a feature removed from Motif 2.0.x by the so-called 
openGroup!). Not a very good alternative, is it?

I'm not too sure what you want to do with Xfce3.
If you are happy with just getting rid of the a-la-Microsoft close button 
("pure" Motif look and feel as a result), let me know: years ago I hacked the 
code for this sole purpose and I'll make it available to you.

Cheers,
Roger
