I'm trying to draw to a workspace widget that is not the top most widget
in a window. When I use the window returned by XtWindow, I get a
bad drawable error. What am I doing wrong???
Thanks,
Dean

Note that the best way to solve this problem is to write your own widget that gives you a drawing area and provides the appropriate interfaces to exposure and other X events. Alternatively, you can use a general purpose drawing widgets, such as the one in Motif or the one outlined in the MIT intrinsics manual. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
