Did this update change the XTerm icon that is displayed in the Windows task bar?
Previously, when I launched the XWin Server, I would see the x.org logo (a black X with an orange ring) in the task bar as the icon for the XTerm window. Today, I see the XTerm icon for the XTerm window: a red X with a blue T superimposed over it.

yes - from xterm's standpoint it's moderately complicated.
For Xwin Server, I assume that the icon is shown because that's the
window which keeps the server from exiting.
Though I investigated several cases, I didn't consider this particular
one. xterm now specifies an icon because several of the cases I found
didn't provide any icon at all - a favor from the desktop packagers, it
seems. I did consider providing a special resource value that would
suppress the xterm-specific icon (such as "none" or "default"), but
decided to see what type of feedback I'd get first.

Yes, it reminds me of the Texas Rangers logo (American baseball team).

Looking at that, I'd say not more than 10% (and wasn't inspired by it -
I don't pay much attention to organized sports).
See

(I'll add more to the page, when I'm not working on more urgent things)

I like having a specific xterm icon in the taskbar to make it clear which X application is actually running. I was just surprised to see a different icon, and I was curious what had changed to make it appear. Thanks for the explanation!
