Some SHRINKFNs exist only to supply icons for the windows they''re attached to; it would be nice if they could avoid stepping on each other.'
'
While a SHRINKFN can tell if some earlier SHRINKFN has supplied an icon (by looking at the ICON windowprop), it has no way of telling that SHRINKW was called with its TOWHAT arg non-NIL.  It would be nice if this got passed down somehow--either by setting up the window''s ICON property before calling DOUSERFNS or by passing down some kind of second arg to SHRINKFNs.'
