I seem to have some trouble in the following simple statements:


	XMapWindow(display,window);

	XDrawImagestring(display,window,mygc,20,20,string,strlen(string);


most of the times (when the window is previously unmappped) 
 these statements get executed the text DOES NOT show up on the
window, whereas a second call to the same lines when the window is already
MAPPED prints text in the window correctly.

I tried doing a XFlush(), but nothing seems to help...

Any suggestions ?

thanks
