Other than that, it's a cool app
Thank you

The problem is that there's a bit in WM_HINTS which (in both apps) isn't set. You can see this using "xprop -id 0x...":

For Beebem:
WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
bitmap id # to use for icon: 0x300000d
bitmap id # of mask for icon: 0x300000b
whereas for, say, mediaplayer we'd get:
WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
Client accepts input or input focus: True
Initial state is Normal State.
window id # of group leader: 0x2c00001
I believe this is a problem with libsdl, but I haven't dug down any further to find why it's not setting this bit.
