I have a need in my system to be able to open up a ManagedWindow, move and/or reshape it, close it, and then to create a new window with the same contents at the same location. When I create a new window, giving it the location of the old window using place(Coord,Coord), It seems to be offset by the titlebar height and border width. I know this is due to interaction with the window manager (I'm using the motif wm), but does anyone know of a general fix around this. I can figure out what the offset is going to be and adjust, but this is not general. I would also like the contents of the window to have the same normal size, stretchability, and shrinkability. The problem is best explained by example. Suppose I have an open window whose interior cannot be shrinked but can be infinitely stretched. I stretch the window, close it, and then create a new window with the same interior but stretched to the size of the previous window. I do this by giving the new window a geometry string with the size of the previous window. I would like to be able to then shrink that window back to the normal size of the interior, but I am unable to shrink that window at all. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I am using interviews 3.0 and Unidraw. Thanks- Lee Coller (coller@alnitak.usc.edu) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Lee D.
