[comp.windows.x.motif] mwm and hints

harkcom@spinach.pa.yokogawa.co.jp (03/06/91)

   I am trying to set the Normal hints (XSetNormalHints) under mwm.
When I set the x or y hints for PPosition mwm breaks the window.
By breaks, I mean that it displays a window that is totally useless
and can't be resized or moved to make it useful.

   Whether or not you consider this behaviour one of mwm's special
features, it is a bug as it does not follow the protocol. In doing
so it breaks clients that use PPosition. Is this going to be fixed?
