I want to position a window in a particular place, and my program does this for every window manager I have tried except for twm, which always makes the user position the window manually. Is there a quick fix for this? Thanks. Christopher Gronbeck ceg@nova.stanford.edu

Is there a quick fix for this? There are two types of hints to the window manager that can affect window placement: User Specified Position (USPosition) and Program specified Position (PPosition). Pre-R4 window managers mostly ignored PPosition but the R4 twm has an of option to control how PPosition is handled. Look at the variable UsePPosition in the twm man page. USPosition should ONLY be used if the user requested the window to be positioned at some location. -- Tom LaStrange Solbourne Computer Inc. ARPA: toml@Solbourne.COM 1900 Pike Rd.
