I'm having a problem using the following:
XSelectInput(display,root,ButtonPressMask);
The root has been found correctly, but because of a conflict with
the window manager, I get the following error
X Error: BadAccess
Request Major code 2 ()
Request Minor code 0
ResourceID 0x8006c
Error Serial #118
Current Serial #118
This occurs using the following window managers olwm,olvwm,twm
but not tvtwm where it works as I want.
I there a 'proper' way to over-ride the window manager's control of the root
window periodically, so that I can receive the ButtonPress Event?
(This is under X11R4 with server Xnews)
Email Responses Appreciated
