We are trying to write an X11 application under HP-UX 6.5 that:-

    a. Uses the full screen (yes all of it).
    b. Is managed by hpwm.

We have tried setting the resources `positionIsFrame' and `positionOnScreen' to
False, but hpwm still insists on offsetting the top left corner of the
user area of the window a few pixels. 

This is true even with tests like 

     xclock -geometry 200x200+0+0 

In addition, hpwm still resizes the window to original size minus the
frame size.

Does anyone know why this is so?

Better still, does anyone know an hpwm resource called

   Hpwm*layOffThisWindow

Suggestions gratefully received.
