Summary:

Hello,

As stated in the subject I am having problems with (I believe) Mwm 
for VMS. I have an application which requires that the main window
open flush against the upper left hand corner (or very near to it). In my
UIL file for the main window I set XmNx and XmNy to 0, but this is not what
I get.  What happens is that everytime I run the application the main 
window is placed in the following pattern:

	1   3   5   7
        |  /|  /|  /
        | / | / | /  etc. etc. etc.
        |/  |/  |/
        2   4   6

No matter what values I have set for XmNx and XmNy. I also checked to
make sure there wasn't a XmNdefaultPosition - there isn't.

I am assuming that this problem is with Mwm, so I checked through the
Window Manager book and found that only clientAutoPlace and positionOnScreen
appear to apply. so I set them as follows in decw$xdefaults.dat:

Mwm*clientAutoPlace			False
Mwm*positionOnScreen			False

And it still didn't help. I hope I didn't miss something really stupid.

Please mail responses to the the signature at the bottom, not to the 
address on top, It's posted from my professors account. Thanx in advance.
