Hi,

I have just started using InterViews, and have noticed an annoying thing.
If I start my programs with 

	program -geometry WxH

I get a window the requested size, and can place it on the screen using the
window manager.  If instead I say 

	program -geometry WxH+X+Y

I get a window, placed at (X,Y), but the window manager doesn't know about it.

I have looked a bit in the source, and in the XLIB docs, but can't see what is
wrong.

Is this an InterViews bug, or have I simply botched everything?

I am using AT&T cfront 1.2, X11.3 (a tape from october 1988), and the
InterViews distribution from this X tape.  I an using a Sun 4, running SunOS
4.0, with the display on a VaxStation2000.  I am using twm, dated from October
18, 1988. 

Thanks.
