Getting rid of ... (dots, ellipsis) in iconmanager entries?

[reikred]

Is there way to turn off the padding with dots (...) in the names that appear in iconmanagers? It just wastes space for me.

Example: I may have an xterm named root1@localhost, which vtwm will truncate to root1@... so that I cannot see what machine I'm logged in to. In contrast, good old twm will show root1@loc , which is just enough for me to tell what I need to know.

Yes, I can make the iconmanager wider so hat it shopws root1@loc... (say), but I'm trying to save space, which is why I'm addicted to iconmanagers in the fiorst place :).

Anny ideas on how to get rid of the dots? I did egrep -r "['][.][']" . in the source code, but came up empty on finding where the "dotting" happens. Any variable to turn this behavior off?

I went to see if I could quickly make a patch, but someone already thought of it:

Oh man, that is outstanding!!! I missed the setting in the manual because I searched on "dots" and "ellipsis" but not "ellipses". Maybe add a keyword string (dots, ellipsis, ellipses) in the manual, if you care to? Thanks for finding the answer.
