Subject: CLX question: mapping a window to screen without user interference
Date:
Message-ID: <1991Apr30.200418.5016@colorado.edu>
First of all, is there a better news groups regarding CLX questions?
I'm trying to map onto the screen without user interference using
the TWM window manager. When I create a window and map it onto the
screen it will force me to position the window first. This is not
tolerable for a hypertext kind of applications.
If I use :override-redirect :on for create-window then the window gets
mapped directely, however, then the window will not be decorated. I've
seen a decorated window mapping popping onto the screen using TWM in
some CLX based applications, i.e., there must be a way.
Any ideas? Do I need some real bizzare combination of keywords for
create-window, or is there some special way to setup the display, or..
HELP!
