I just got the O'Reilly X manuals, and in volume I on page 70, it says that the correct way to handle expose events is to search the queue for them and handle them all at the same time. It seems to me that this could lead to problems if there are other events in the queue interleaved between the expose events. For instance. If a window is partially obscured, and when the user resizes it the window manager automatically raises it. I would think this situation would cause one or more expose events, then a configure notify event, and finally another series of expose events. If the client handled all of the expose events simultaneously, it would handle the latter series of expose events assuming the wrong size of the window. Is this a valid concern, or am I missing something? -- You have to look with better | Tom Weinstein ...ucbvax!hub!ucsbuxa!6600tom eyes than that! -- The Abyss | 6600tom@ucsbuxa.bitnet 6600tom@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu

You are correct.
