Additional notes:

	If you really MUST place a shell window, use the XtNgeometry
resource for the app shell.

	If you use the XtNx and XtNy resources
on the shell window, it might work for some window managers.

	If you really must use XMoveWindow, you can do so only
	after the shell window is realized.  Your code sequence might look
	something like this :


  XtRealizeWidget(topapp);
  XMoveWindow(XtDisplay(topapp), XtWindow(topapp),
                20, 2);


	Secondly, you are confusing DefaultRootWindow with
	your own shell window.  The DefaultRootWindow exists
	at all times even when your program is not active.
	You can think of it as the background window.
