[comp.windows.x] Mapping with uwm

cpc@HOLMES.LCS.MIT.EDU (08/27/88)

I have a simple question whose answer seems to be eluding me.  I am
using X11R2 with uwm.  I am not using any toolkits -- just Xlib.  I
would like to have a window (whose parent is the root window) pop up
where I want it without having the user interact with uwm to position
it.  I have seen applications do this: whenever a geometry spec is
included in the run line.  However, I have not been able to figure out
exactly what they do to make the window map.  It seems like the only
extra thing they do is a call to XParseGeometry().  Can somebody help
me out?  Thanx.

Read about XSetStandardProperties in section 9.1 of the Xlib manual.
