I may be remembering gvim... I do run gvim from time to time. And I
nearly always use real Thomas Dickie Xterm rather the various desktop
wannabees.

Well, the changed involved in with `full-upgrades'. Which I've

Yes they do (I've attached a tiny snippet screen grab for running
emacs and xterm windows laid over each other to show the icons)
