#8:
Two lines from my ~/.icewm/toolbar as example:
prog BigBlackXTerm xterm2 sh -c "export BG=dark; xterm -ls -bg black -fg
white -fn -*-terminus-medium-*-*--24-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"
prog BigXTerm xterm sh -c "export BG=light; xterm -ls -bg white -fg
black -fn -*-terminus-bold-*-*--24-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"
This clumsy xterm invocation has the effect of setting an envvar $BG
conditional for black and white terminals (using black ones for work and white
ones for presentation). There seems to be no other way to transfer specific
envvars to xterms in icewm. Dependent on $BG I set eg dircolors in startup
dotfiles, so I need option -ls to read the dotfiles. $BG is also needed for
conditional syntax highlighting in vim. Another reason for -ls is I prefer to
have a deterministic environment in each xterm, not dependent on prior work on
console when startx-ed from console.
