Help!!!! I would like to be able to put a label widget at a 
certain position on the screen.  I can do that by adding a
geometry string on the command line, but would like to change 
the geometry setting (mainly x and y position) on the fly.  I 
have looked through all the client code (clients/xterm/scrollbar.c 
in particular) and haven't been successful at setting XtNx and XtNy.  
Here is a short program.  Thanks in advance!
