(xany vs xmaprequest) Message-ID: <2544@mentor.cc.purdue.edu> Date: 25 Apr 89 18:09:39 GMT Organization: Unix Groupie Lines: 13 I was under the impression that we could use event.xany for any of the first 5 values. In almost every case this is true. Except with the Mapping, configure, create and destroy events. Why did you switch the parent and window fields so that : event.xany.window != event.xmaprequest.window ^^^^^^^^^^^ this or the others i mentioned Is there a good reason that I am missing? mtr
