My collegue has pointed out the the most likely cause is something to do
with the text in the title bar, normally the text under the icon of an
iconised window is the first word in the title bar i.e. the characters up
until the first space.
Maybe these windows have hard spaces, other control or top bit set
charcters.
Variations between peoples machine may be occuringing due different
character sets or fonts being used.
