I'm having a few problems getting x-view to put my windows where I want
them.  I want the first to open anywhere, but the second to open
directly below it on the display.

I'm trying:

 frame = (Frame)xv_create(NULL,      FRAME,  
	   FRAME_LABEL,      argv[0],
	   FRAME_SHOW_FOOTER,TRUE,   
	   NULL);                    

This creates my first frame fine. Then I create a panel and some buttons
on it and call:

   windowfit(panel);windowfit(frame);

After this I create another frame:

subframe = (Frame)xv_create(frame, FRAME, 
      FRAME_LABEL,       "Command Output:",  
      XV_X,              xv_get(frame,XV_X),
	 XV_Y,              xv_get(frame,XV_Y)+xv_get(frame,XV_HEIGHT),            
	 XV_WIDTH,          xv_get(frame,XV_WIDTH),
      XV_HEIGHT,         xv_get(frame,XV_HEIGHT),
      FRAME_SHOW_FOOTER, TRUE,
	 XV_SHOW,           TRUE,
	 NULL);                   

I want this 'subframe' to be the same size as frame and be placed
directly below it.  (X possition the same, but Y possition lower 
on the screen by frame's height.)  It does get the correct size,
but both frames are displayed in random(?) possitions rather than
the 2nd being displayed relative to the frist.

Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
