I had questions about two irritants that occurred after upgrade to
V3.2C. One case appears to be a known bug, and the other I should have
read the Release Notes more closely.

This is a known problem that may be fixed in the next release. At least,
that is what DEC told us when we reported it in August.

I haven't gotten to the mail section of the release notes yet,
but I note in section 6.2.3.1, Icons and ICCCM Compliance,

        The mwm window manager complies with the Inter-Client
        Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM). Therefore,
        it supports only icon bitmaps, not icon pixmaps. A
        user can enable mwm ICCCM compliance by setting the
        following resource in the user's .Mwm file:

        Mwm*ICCCMCompliant: True
