There is no way to "force" the window manager to do anything, you can tell the window manager to ignore your windows with override-redirect but this will not allow the windows to be moved or iconified (the window manager is ignoring them). Once the ICCCM is official the Xt toolkit will do the right thing, and if twm does not do the right thing and does not follow ICCCM then it is broken. Looking at your code I am not sure if that will work, it seems like a truely obscure way to code that, I would stronly suggest that you leave size and location parameters up to the user, if you have a set of default ones that you want to have then use an application defaults file, which allows you to specify a default set of resource for your applicaion. The users personal resources will override these however. Chris D.
