[comp.windows.x] X and Y position and Shell widgets

jne@goldhill.COM (12/21/89)

Background:  using X11R3 on Sun (3/4/386i), Xt, and Athena Widgets

When I move a toplevel window using the user interface, i.e., a
window manager such as uwm, Xt's notion of the window's position
becomes incorrect. This causes obvious problems, such as
XtTranslateCoords yielding different results than XTranslateCoordinates.

I realize that this is a known bug and most likely fixed in R4.

My question is: does any kind soul have a patch for R3 for this bug that
both updates Xt's local data structures and calls any appropriate 
translation functions, etc?  Wait 'til R4 is not acceptable for me.

Thanks in advance.
