All,
	I know this is a very basic question but none of the references
seems to give me a coherent answer.  After XCreateWindow and XMapWindow
calls, I still don't get a visible window on the screen.  I simply want 
to create a window that I could do (non-interactive) drawing.  I have to
call XNextEvent in order to get the server to create the window on the 
screen.  Also, if I want to do all my input via files, this would mean
I don't need to handle any events.... event_mask = 0.  But, how could I do 
this and still call XNextEvent to get the window on the screen.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
