[comp.windows.x] GetImage on unmapped windows

DHOLAKIA@INTELLICORP.COM ("...back with a thud") (05/08/90)

The X protocol book description of GetImage says that if the drawable arg to
GetImage is a window, the window must be viewable.  Following the description
further I am a little unclear on whether this should be the case regardless of
whether the window has backing store or not.  It would be useful to be able to
get that information regardless of the map state of the window.

Clarifications ?  Suggestions ?

I currently get an error on such a request on a HP9000/835 HP-UX7.0 X server
(R3) using CLXR4.

GetImage doesn't work on unmapped windows.
