I'm maintaining an application a version of which runs under X.
When I run it with twm, twm won't titlebar it, move/resize/iconify/
focus-on/force-move it, etc.; about all it will do is send it refresh
requests with f.winrefresh, and raise/lower other windows above/below
it.  By contrast, uwm will treat it as a normal window, except for
the curious phenomenon that if the mouse buttons are
bound in the _icon_ context, uwm intercepts them inside the
application's _window_.

My guess is this problem has something to do with window parenting;
can anyone give me a better diagnosis before I dig into the X part
of the application's code?
