xterm non icccm compliant?

[Russell Shaw]

Hi,
In my window-manager program, i start xterm with a fork.

Xterm generates a MapRequest on the root window. Reading the WM_NAME
property on the xterm window sets title="xterm", which is its arg[0]:

static void
handle_map_request(App *app, XEvent *xev, void *data)
{
   XMapRequestEvent *ev = &xev->xmaprequest;

   XFlush(app->display);
   XSync(app->display, 0)

   XTextProperty prop;
   XGetWMName(app->display, ev->window, &prop);

   char **list;
   int count;
   Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList(app->display, &prop, &list, &count);
   char *title = strdup(list[0]);
}


If i put in a time delay, title is set to "/home/russell":

static void
handle_map_request(App *app, XEvent *xev, void *data)
{
   XMapRequestEvent *ev = &xev->xmaprequest;

   XFlush(app->display);
   XSync(app->display, 0);

   sleep(1);

   XTextProperty prop;
   XGetWMName(app->display, ev->window, &prop);

   char **list;
   int count;
   Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList(app->display, &prop, &list, &count);
   char *title = strdup(list[0]);
}

According to the ICCCM, xterm should set WM_NAME *before* mapping the window.

I'm using: xterm -version

                   XTerm(202)
