Ah! That answers my original question, anyway. As a work-around, I've
redefined my Eterm eap to match on the title (my Eterm titles always
start "<user>@<domain>:<path>" whereas I can easily set my mutt Eterm
title to something else):

$ enlightenment_eapp mutt.eap \
   -set-exe "Eterm" \
   -set-win-name "" \
   -set-win-class "Eterm" \
   -set-win-title "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:*"

This works, but it's an ugly hack at best.

I agree. It doesn't make much sense to me. In fact, it makes it
impossible to specialise icons for particular instances of windows
(without using a hack like above, which will fail if you're unlucky),
and gains you very little as far as I can tell. I'm almost certain e16
had the opposite behaviour.

Raster - is there some deep, profound reasoning I've completely failed
to grasp in the choice of behaviour for e17? I'd be surprised if it
wasn't chosen for a reason...

It's not a big deal for the icons in the corner of the windows, but
it's annoying in ibar, and very annoying in engage since minimised
windows appear above the wrong icon.

PS: I didn't intend to cast aspersions on Eterm by asking if the
--name switch was broken! I use Eterm as my main terminal, so
clearly I like it :)

I just wondered why it (apparently) works for setting the icon in
xterm. Obviously, the more likely explanation was always going to be a
bug in e17 - it is pre-release software after all, even if it is far
better than most post-release software.
