[comp.windows.x] Positioning Windows With hpwm

paul@mecazh.UUCP (Paul Breslaw) (06/01/89)

We are trying to write an X11 application under HP-UX 6.5 that:-

    a. Uses the full screen (yes all of it).
    b. Is managed by hpwm.

We have tried setting the resources `positionIsFrame' and `positionOnScreen' to
False, but hpwm still insists on offsetting the top left corner of the
user area of the window a few pixels. 

This is true even with tests like 

     xclock -geometry 200x200+0+0 

In addition, hpwm still resizes the window to original size minus the
frame size.

Does anyone know why this is so?

Better still, does anyone know an hpwm resource called

   Hpwm*layOffThisWindow

Suggestions gratefully received.

PS. Please don't suggest using twm - we know it's good.

Have you tryed adjusting the resources:

positionIsFrame

and

positionOnScreen

It is difficult for me to conceive that someone would, of their own
free will, use twm rather than hpwm.  However, there is no accounting
for bizarre tastes ;-) ;-)
