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.

Please don't suggest using twm - we know it's good. It is difficult for me to conceive that someone would, of their own free will, use twm rather than hpwm. However, there is no accounting for bizarre tastes ;-) ;-) Fletcher E. Kittredge fkittred@bbn.com

> Better still, does anyone know an hpwm resource called > Hpwm*layOffThisWindow Use Hpwm's client-specific resource "clientDecoration" to turn off decoration for your client. Hpwm*<CLIENTCLASS>*clientDecoration: None If you set up the right button bindings, you can still manipulate the window using chorded button presses (sort of what you would normally do under uwm). You'll still get an infinitesimal border (about 3 pixels or so). I think you can manipulate this using the "borderWidth resource, but don't quote me. ----- Shankar.

Also, start up your client with an X-border width of 0. Hpwm tries to position the window so the client area is in the same place it would have been if the window had been put up with its original X-border. The client area is offset from the geometry specified by the width of the X-border. >In addition, hpwm still resizes the window to original size minus the >frame size. > >Does anyone know why this is so? > You might try specifying a sufficiently big maximum size in WM_NORMAL_HINTS. What you describe sounds like the default maximum size computed by hpwm. (I hope I interpreted your statement correctly.) Keith M. Taylor Hewlett-Packard Corvallis Information Systems
