- Is it possible to configure twm to display the iconmanager entries left to
- right instead of top to bottom?

	In your .twmrc, define IconManagerGeometry with a
placement, followed by the number of columns you want the
IconManager to be.

	For years, I used the following entry:

		IconManagerGeometry	"500x20+2+2" 7

	For a seven column IconManager located at +2+2, sized
500x20.  Each row would be 20 pixels tall, and once seven items
had filled the IconManager, a new row would be created.

	I hope this helps,
