I have a client that creates two toplevel windows using the following
sequence:

    toplevel = XtInitialize("main", "Demo", NULL, ZERO, &argc, argv);
	.
	.
	.
    Atoplevel = XtCreateApplicationShell("atop", topLevelShellWidgetClass, ...);
	.
	.
	.
    Btoplevel = XtCreateApplicationShell("atop", topLevelShellWidgetClass, ...);



Here are my two questions:

1. I am having trouble specifying resources for the Atop and Btop widgets
   separately.  e.g.  -xrm '*font: courb12' makes all the fonts in Atop's
   subwindows and Btop's subwindows courb12.  However, if I want, say
   courb12 in A and 9x15 in B, I tried
	-xrm '*atop*font:courb12' -xrm '*btop*font:9x15'
    but nothing happened.  What's the way to include atop and btop
    in the resource hierarchy?

2. In the topLevelShellWidgetClass widget (e.g. Atoplevel above), if
   I set the XtNgeometry resource to "+100+100", the windows show up
   at (100,100) as I expected.  However, I couldn't get the windows
   to show up at (100,100) using XtNx and XtNy alone.  Here's my
   question: why does XtNgeometry work, but XtNx and XtNy don't?

Thanks
