I am porting X11 code from an HP-835 using Version 3.4.1 to a Sun
4-110.  I was using uwm on the HP.  I am now running SunOs 4.0.3,
xnews as the server, and pswm as the window manager.

My problem is processing window movement and key presses.
On the HP whenever I moved my X11 created windows, I got
configure notify events which let me know the new position of the window.
But on the Sun because of the window manager, I am assuming, I do not
get this event.  When I move the windows by placing the cursor in the border
of the X11 window and depressing the left mouse button, the only event I am
getting is an expose event, this only happens when windows are overlapping.
I also cannot process key press events.  On the HP I simply depressed
the keys and the events were processed; however, on the Sun I do not
get any indication that a key was pressed.  Could someone please explain
the differences between the window managers which I am guessing is the
problem.

If anyone has any more information on Sun window managers (I know that
pswm and olwm are existing window managers) I would certainly be glad
if you could pass it along to me.

Please e-mail this information to me.

P.S.  If you think of any other important information that I don't have but
will need, please feel free to e-mail this to me also.
