HELP.. I want to move dialogs from one screen to another

We are developing a system on a VAXstation 6000 that has 2 screens and
I am trying to move dialogs (windows) from one screen to another.  I have
been successful when I destroy all of the widgets and rebuild the 
dialog on the second screen, but I would like to use the XReparentWindow
to avoid all of the logic (and potential problems) with destroying all
of the widgets.  The code I have tried found the window whose parent
was the root window (using XQueryTree).  Once I found that window,
I got the root window of screen 1 and then called XReparentWindow.  The 
documentation claims that if the window is mapped, it will unmap it first
and then move it as the child of the new window ("root1").  I received
a BadMatch error when I tried this.  Is there any way to make this work?
Is the window manager getting in the way?

Help...
