Subject: Raise a window with twm
Newsgroups: comp.windows.x

I have an application which uses several windows.  I would like to be
able to raise a window without the user interaction.  How can I do
that?

I am using twm.  All my attempts trying to raise a window through Xlib
calls have failed.  Seems that twm denied all the requests.  But I saw
applications running under twm raising and lowering windows without any
problem.

I am aware that twm will reparent my window (one or more levels down).
The Xlib functions I have tried are:
		XRaiseWindow
		XConfigureWindow
		XRestackWindows

Thanks in advance for your help!
