I need help!  A few of us are working on a project, using X11 as the
screen interface, and have come accross the following problem: we
call XCreateWindow, XSetNormalHints, XReadBitMapFile, XCreateGC,
     XCreatePixmap, XCopyPlane, XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap,
     XFreeGC, XFreePixmap, XMapWindow, XMoveWindow.
At this point I would expect to see the window.  It does not happen,
however, until I click the mouse.  When I do so, it pops up anywhere,
and then gets moved to where I want it.  The extra move I can deal with,
but why do I need the click?  I am reluctant to call this a bug in X,
since it seems that others would have gotten it before.  What are we
doing wrong?  Please respond to ...!uunet!actnyc!srk

Thanks Muchly!!!
