Ex: sizehints.x = x_loc; sizehints.y = y_loc; sizehints.width = my_width; sizehints.height = my_height; sizehints.flags = (USSize | USPosition); The reason for this is that if the window manager sees that the user has specified the geometry, (the US prefix) then it will accept this as gospel and not ask anything else, but if the program did the geometry (the P prefix) then the window manager will give the user a chance to override it. -- +*************************************************************************+ * Dana Chee (201) 829-4488 * * Bellcore * * Room 2Q-250 * * 445 South Street ARPA: dana@bellcore.com * * Morristown, NJ 07960-1910 UUCP: {gateways}!bellcore!dana * +*************************************************************************+
