Re: [UUG/MLUG] windowmaker icons on the dock

Well, I haven't used windowmaker in quite awhile now, so take this with
a grain of salt.

In general, I think your best bet is to put those "command line tricks"
into a shell script, so that you could execute, say: "xterm_ssh" from
the shell and get a new xterm with your showme shell... Give _that_
script a new icon that reflects what you want it to look like; as if you
were running a totally different application, which in way you are.
