The default behavior on creating a new top level window seems to be to forcibly create it slightly offset from the last top level window, so you get this nice effect of a stack of cards. I don't have any objection to this, but when running under the tvtwm window manager, the windows always wind up popping up over in the home corner of the large "virtual" root window. I think I have an idea how to pound on the code in X11-world.c to make this work "right", but I am just wondering if the change has already been made in InterViews 3.0 (which I will probably be going to as soon as we get our new C++ compiler). (I am currently running a hack that just changes the window manager hints to allow me to position the window myself, but I would rather it got the coordinates right). This problem with application code and tvtwm is not unique to InterViews, but InterViews is what I mostly use these days, so I don't care much about the other applications... -- ====================================================================== domain: tahorsley@csd.harris.com USMail: Tom Horsley uucp: ...!uunet!hcx1!tahorsley 511 Kingbird Circle Delray Beach, FL 33444 +==== Censorship is the only form of Obscenity ======================+ | (Wait, I forgot government tobacco subsidies...) | +====================================================================+
