I'm having trouble with an IconManager "destroying" IconRegion.

For nearly forever I've had an IconRegion defined.

	IconRegion      "1304x846-0+" North East 100 100

That worked OK, though there are weird issues.

Long ago I used to use an IconManager for xterms in twm (and
occasionally I still use twm on machines with no ctwm), and so today I
tried adding the following to my ~/.ctwmrc to retry using an IconManager
in ctwm:

	IconManagerGeometry             "654x0-494+656" 2
	ShowIconManager
	IconifyByUnmapping {
		"xterm"
	}
	#
	IconManagerShow {
		"xterm"
	}
	# hmmm... this must be just a boolean, when used with IconManagerShow
	IconManagerDontShow

The IconManager works great, though its geometry spec is partly broken
as it doesn't work quite the same as the WorkSpaceManagerGeometry,
specifically with respect to the horizontal positioning.

However the main problem is that when I iconify some other app's window
its icon just sits either where the cursor was when I iconified it, or
perhaps in some more random position.

I.e. with an IconManager in force the IconRegion seems to be
ineffective!

Has anyone else seen this problem?  I don't see anything in the manual
page that would explain this (but I haven't read every word twice).
