[comp.windows.x] Help managing children.....

	I am trying to resize/relocate children in an application using Xlib.
For reasons I will not go into here I need to use only Xlib only.
Both the child and parent window have the following masks set:

        long masks = StructureNotifyMask | ExposureMask |
                     KeyPressMask | KeyReleaseMask |
                     ButtonPressMask | ButtonReleaseMask;

I am trying to resize/move the child with the following calls:

     XSizeHints Hints;

     Hints.flags = USSize|USPosition|PSize|PPosition;
     Hints.x = x;
     Hints.y = y;
     Hints.width = width;
     Hints.height = height;
     XSetNormalHints(Dpy,Wnd,&Hints);
     XMoveResizeWindow(Dpy,Wnd,x,y,width,height);

Now for the biggie: What else do I need to do? The window neither resizes
	or moves. I get Configure events on the parent when I resize it
	manualy but not on the child when I resize it in the program.
	Most of the examples I have to go on have too much toolkit stuff
	to find the magic sequence.
