Several people have differnet views as to how clients should interact
with intelligent window managers.  Rather than express my views in this
letter I would point out that the code I wrote as part of the
Intrinsics of the Xtk toolkit on the X.V11R1 does what I believe is the
proper thing for clients.  It handles the cases of smart, stupid, or
non-existent window manager.  The code is in the module Initialize.c
