Hi
XCreateWindow(display, RootWindow(display, screen_number), 100, 100,
640, 480, 0, XDefaultDepth(display, screen_number), InputOutput,
visual, attributemask, &attributes);
I am using Debian 3.1R3 with KDE, i try to use XCreateWindow to create
a window with a startup position 100,100, it is not working, the window
init position at 0,0
how to?
thanks

hello
I remember, that the position values you specify in XCreateWindow () are
ignored by the most window managers. Because they have the control about
where and how to position windows.
btw: there exist a group called : comp.os.linux.x

The position is only a hint, the window manager can honour or ignore it.
Try static gravity for your window (then the position relates to your
window, not the decoration frame of the window manager) or setting the
override redirect attribute for your window (then your window will have no
decoration).

After the XCreateWindow(), use XMoveWindow() to force it to a specific
position.
