   Ok, this is the scam:

      Last year I spent several months using X10, and I had no trouble
   using the XMapWindow call to place a child of RootWindow at the
   x/y location specified on creation.  Now, in X11, no matter what
   I specify when I create the window, I get the flickering rubberband
   rectangle, wanting my to place the window.  What I need to know, ( and 
   this is embarassing for someone with X experience to ask ) is: how do I
   get a window to use its geometry, when it's a child of RootWindow?
   Is it a matter of .Xdefaults? Some other resource? RTFM?

   Please e-mail me the answer, even if it's no-way.  I'm using X11R3, 
   with Purdue speedups and some patches ( Sysadmin knows what those are ).

           Ochyen spaceeba!
           ( thanks, for those who nee panimayitye pa-russky! )
