I set the width_inc and height_inc slots of the XSizeHints on the parent window to the font-size of the text frame. But the problem with this is, when I resize the window, and the window manager tells me that it's 80x24 characters, it's referring to the top-level window. So the text frame (the interesting part) is really 80x21 or so (lose lose!) Is there any way to tell the window manager that there is a chunk of real estate that shouldn't be considered when making this computation, like a "size-offset" or something? -- Jamie
