I'm suddenly into XLIB programming. I'm getting a simple 
graph out, but I would like to control the size of the window
by a statement like *Xlib*Geometry: 300x300+0+0 in my
.Xdefaults file . I would like this to override the WIDTH and
HEIGHT values I supply in the XCreateSimpleWindow call, but this
is not happening when I print out the values of width, height
returned by XGetGeometry. Instead the values returned are what
I specify in my XCreateSimpleWindow call. What do I need to do
to have the window size specified in the .Xdefaults file
override that in the program.  I don't think there is a
mistake in my .Xdefaults file, the name of the application is
Xlib as specified in a call to XSetStandardProperties. I'm 
using Openwindows 3. THANKS.
