Help!

I'm currently using an Eiffel interface to Xlib to develop a prototype.
Most everything is now developed, but I am left with one nagging problem.
When I set the background pixmap of a window, the pixmap does not 
immediately appear.  I have tried various combinations of sending expose
events to the windows, but I think I am using XSendEvent incorrectly.

The window is re-displayed correctly if I use the "redraw" facility in uwm
or circulate the windows.

My question is, what is uwm sending to the client when I ask it to redraw
the window (ie. choose redraw from a uwm menu and point to the window to
redraw!)?

I am running under Ultrix and uwm.

Thanks in advance, Gail
