Starting an Application as an Icon To start an application as an icon, add *initialState: 3 to the application's resource file. For example, to start the clock as an icon, 1. Add this resource to the application's user resource file. * *initialState: 3 to decw$user_defaults:decw$clock.dat for OpenVMS or * *initialState: 3 to ~/.DXclock for other systems. 2. Restart the Clock. To locate the resources filenames for specific applica- tions, refer to decw$system_defaults for OpenVMS or /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults for other system.
