I just switched from R3 to R4 Xt and noticed the following bug (or undocumented misfeature). When I set XtNminHeight and XtNminWidth on a topLevelShellWidget, the default geometry gets all messed up. The window somes up much bigger than it is set in the .Xdefaults file. The min_height and min_width, however, still work, since the window manager recognizes the hints and won't let me resize the window to be bigger than XtNmaxHeight,width, or smaller than XtNminHeight,width. If I comment out the SetValues calls for XtNminWidth and XtNminHeight, the windwo comes up to be the right sizes, those specified in the .Xdefaults file. I am using R4 twm by the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Jeff Vogel

I am unable to reproduce your problem from this description.
Both XtSetValues immediately after creating a topLevelShell and
putting values in the resource database for minWidth and minHeight
work fine for me. If you can construct a short example to
reproduce your problem, we might be able to help you more.
