	According to the X toolkit documentation, when you associate a
geometry manager with a window, you cannot directly pass any
additional information.  This is incredibly stupid.  In the other
parts of the toolkit, anytime you specify a call-back procedure that
takes a window, you can also specify an extra argument to explain what
the window is, which is incredibly smart.

		PLEASE FIX THIS IN THE NEXT RELEASE.
