>Description:

	This patch fixes xconsole so that it behaves like Xterm with
	'-ziconbeep' -- i.e. so that it prepends three asterisks to its
	name instead of appending just one.

	This is useful for window managers which only show the first few
	characters of an icon name (such as ctwm with its SchrinkIconTitles)

>How-To-Repeat:

	use ctwm with SchrinkIconTitles and wonder why the xconsole icon
	never changes even when there's new output....

>Fix:
