I'm a novice at this X stuff.  I'm a *user*, not a developer.
After using motif on MIT's Project Athena, I've gotten used to
having new windows come up as a 'rubber band' with a small display
of it's size and position.  I can then decide where I want to
put the window.  However, I've just installed Open Windows (1.0.1)
on a Sun 386i and now new windows come up in the upper left corner
of the screen.  I think I've read through TFM's pretty carefully,
but I can't seem to find a way to get them to act the same way
as with motif.  Any help would be appreciated.  If there's any
significant interest, I'll post a summary.

					Thanks,
