For questions about "which events occur" the 'oracle' is xev. In this
case it tells me that no event is generated *during* the move, but a
ConfigureNotify is generated when the move ends. Observed on W2K with
Exceed, and on RH7.1 with KDE2; might be different with another WM, but
there are certainly *some* platforms where you receive *just* one
ConfigureNotify when the move ends.

There is no callback for ConfigureNotify in any of the Shell widgets nor
in any superclass they belong to. You have to use XtAddEventHandler.

Thanks for the reply. What event should I be adding a handler for?
Sorry...I'm a complete newbie.

Thanks. I have figured it out now. I didnt know by 'xev' you meant some file
called xev.c
