[comp.windows.x] waiting for a window to be mapped

mlp@ardent.UUCP (Mark Patrick) (03/02/88)

What is the correct solution to the following simple (?) problem.  I
have a program which wants to run with and without window managers.
The program wants to wait until its single window is mapped (either
directly by the server or indirectly when running under a window
manager) how can it tell when to display its contents.  As far as
my experiments show it gets an expose event when running under a
window manager but not when running standalone.
