     How do I get the pointer location when using tvtwm?

     Currently I do:
	  XQueryPointer(XtDisplay(topLevel),
        	RootWindowOfScreen(XtScreen(topLevel)),
        	&root,
        	&child,
        	&rootx, &rooty,
        	&winx, &winy,
        	&keys_buttons);

     This returns the (rootx,rooty) as absolute window numbers and not
        the location offset where the user really is in the virtual root space.
