          properties


     SYNTAX
          XSetStandardProperties(display, w, window_name, icon_name,
          icon_pixmap, argv, argc, hints)
                Display *display;
                Window w;
                char *window_name;
                char *icon_name;
                Pixmap icon_pixmap;
                char **argv;
                int argc;
                XSizeHints *hints;


     ARGUMENTS
          argc      Specifies the number of arguments.

          argv      Specifies the application's argument list.

          display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

          hints     Specifies a pointer to the size hints for the
                    window in its normal state.

          icon_name Specifies the icon name, which should be a null-
                    terminated string.

          icon_pixmap
                    Specifies the bitmap that is to be used for the
                    icon or None.

          w         Specifies the window.

          window_name

     DESCRIPTION
          The XSetStandardProperties function provides a means by
          which simple applications set the most essential properties
          with a single call.  XSetStandardProperties should be used
          to give a window manager some information about your
          program's preferences. It should not be used by applications
          that need to communicate more information than is possible
          with XSetStandardProperties.  (Typically, argv is the argv
          array of your main program.)

          XSetStandardProperties can generate BadAlloc and BadWindow
          errors.


     PROPERTIES
          WM_NAME, WM_ICON_NAME, WM_HINTS, WM_COMMAND, and
          WM_NORMALHINTS


     DIAGNOSTICS
          BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested
                    resource or server memory.

          BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
                    defined Window.
